Surgeon Testimonial

Jeffrey Holloway, M.D.
Dr. Holloway & his staff are the best. Lots of Dr. are soo into t/money anymore..they treat you like cattle..just kinda run you through. That's not t/way it is at Western Surgical . I see Dr. Holloway once a month in Ogallala , NE. All t/staff & t/Dr. act like you're t/only one they have to see. On a scale of 1-10 , I give them an 11

I'm riding my bike half way to the lake everyday(1&1/2 mi. out) & then back. Gotta tell ya ..going out is a lot easier than coming back !! The dumb part is..I usually wait until afternoon to go..You know when it's hotter than hell out ! Never clamed to be too bright. I feel pretty good after I catch my breath. Ha.Not too much else going on. Haven't lost any more weight.

On  the  contact  page..  I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions. By the way..I'm not running my words together. There seems to be a problem in the OH program. I've redid this thing a dozen times. I give up!!

Somehow it was interpeted that I was depressed from my last posting. Let me clear that up. " B.S." Far, Far from it. I beleive, for one of the very few times in my adult life, I am truly happy. I AM PUTTING ME FIRST !! And it's great ! It's like a huge weight has lifted. I love it ! We acomplished a lot of work this weekend on our property & boy did I get a workout ! The view for my back door is going to be amazing ! We can see these beautiful trees blooming & nice houses on the other block. Instead of this delapidated trailer that was falling down. It's wonderful ! I can hardly wait to get the entire thing gone. We're tearing up the floor now. Have a great day.

Due to personal reasons I have decided to stop the leadership role of the local WLS. I really don't think it will effect anyone anyway. There doesn't seem to be any REAL interest anyway. I guess...One must learn to follow before ..One can lead ! The meetings have become quite boring. I sure wouldn't waste my gas to go to one. I have ask the person who started the group to take over. If they chose not to..I guess the few that might come ( once in a blue moon ) might go to the ajoining town to attend theirs. I have finally come full circle about a lot of things. All my life ..I have struggled to get the approval of others , due to a very disfunctional upbring. No more. All can never be pleased . I have finally realized that..and must move on . I will do unto others as I would want to be treated . Otherwise...Do it yourself ! Or stick it ! That's a sad way to have to be...but if one is going to survive in this world..That's the way I guess one has to be.

My Story

My GP suggested by-pass surgery in Jan./07,being tired of my constant struggle to become a heathy weight.I did some research,and foung..Western Surgical in Scottsbluff,Ne.(Dr.Forney & Dr.Holloway.)Best thing I ever did,I went to a weight loss seminar on the different surgery's they peform.Dr.Forney was the speaker to represent the doctors.He said ,after a few years of their research they've found the long haul results between by-pass and lap-band to be pretty much the same.Lap-band being a little slower to get to your goal,but the end result the same without a lot of the risks associated with bypass.So.........Being the chicken that I am....my lap-band surgery is next Tues.June 12/07.Let me just add.You couldn't find a better group of people working for and with you to get your Insurance to approve you.After Malinda(Western Surgica'ls Ins.specialist) faxed my info to my Ins.Co.(Humana Gold)I was approved three days later.Also I did do as they suggested and call Humana to let them know the doctors were sending info for approval for weight loss surgery.And I flat told them some of the personal problems I was having.I actually felt I was talking to someone who cared.I cried when I received my approval letter in the mail.My husband knew who it was from and asked what was the matter..."Did they turn you down?"I said no,he said "Then why are you crying?"I sais"because they said yes!"He said,"Idon't understand."I said,"That's because you're not the person in this body."
