Surgeon Testimonial

Collin Brathwaite, M.D.
I cant even put into words my impression with Dr. Brathwaite. He is everything that I wanted in a surgeon. The office staff is very tolerant. I call and call with questions and no one ever complains. There is nothing I didnt like about him. Others should know, that you should at least meet him, you will never go with anyone else. I cried in his office one day and he was just compassionate and sympathetic. He really does a thorough job in explaining before and afters. He addressed every aspect of wls & surgery in general. He is by far the best surgeon I have come in contact with. I have gone through 3 of them. You will just see how truly compassionate, caring, and sympathetic he his.

EXCELLENT BY FAR!!!!!!! COULDNT OF ASKED FOR BETTER.

    Hey Betsy: I told you that it's a personal decision and when you are ready you will do it. You just have to give me notice so I can get the time off of work to come and stay with you. Also thanks for listening to me blabber on about my recovery. It's not a walk in the park but it will all be worth it in the end. Love, Michelle

Responses to this made me feel better today.
Thanks  to all that applied to this:

Im wondering what anyone else would think or how they would take this scenerio.  I recently read a post/s and thought to myself at first, hmmmm this is a very negative, & nasty person ( i assumed of course i dont know).  This person posts issues about self whether its bad or good.  However, I have only seen the negative affects that wls has had on the poster.  I may have not read all of course and there may be more.  But the pages upon pages I have read are extremely negative.  

My question is, would this have any effect on your decision to have surgery or not?  Now, one might say well you dont know all of it or what is really going on.  No i dont!  However, I do believe people have the right to post what they want and yet a "preopers" like me (speaking for myself of course & myself only) really takes into consideration what this one person has said.  Now what i read was mainly medical issues now after wls, no where that i can find did i see that there where PRIOR medical issues anywhere posted.  

I really dont want to get into specifics about who this is and i wont.  But i wanted to see what others might think in this situation if they read pretty much as I have read.

Does this make sense?  probably not......bit confused myself and i havent had wls yet.  lol.

In a nutshell.  If someone is soooooooooo negative and devotes a great deal of time to posting, would you think that they just really over exagerating or not?  

Please do not slam me.  If you feel ur gonna do that then dont respond.  It just curiosity on my part.  Im not slamming this person im just wondering if this would sway anyone in any way
