Surgeon Testimonial

William Johnson
I went to the seminar on September 5 and was really impressed with Dr. Johnson. It took me a while to hear what he was saying because I couldn't get over how HOT he was!! It should be illegal for someone to be that good looking! :) But I really did like him and felt very confident trusting him with such a big life changing operation. He was confident but not arrogant or cocky like so many doctors are.
9/19/07 - Had my first consultation with Dr Johnson today one on one, he was amazing and very kind, very patient in answering all my questions. Looking forward to going forward with the process!
11/26/07 - My opinion of Dr. Johnson has not changed but I have to say I'm very disappointed in his office staff. They were so nice and lovely at first when I was deciding on a surgeon, and now that I have so much time and money invested they either are hopelessly understaffed or they just don't care. My file sat completed for 2 weeks and never got submitted, I finally went and picked up the file myself to fax to insurance and was treated like I was crazy for doing so. My insurance then put my case on hold to talk to Dr. Johnson to confirm a few things, and I was told today he wouldn't do that without a denial letter and a formal appeal even though my insurance said it was easier for the doctor to just call and they can reverse the decision immediately. So unfortunately even though Dr. Johnson said he thought we could definitely do this by the end of the year, looks like it won't be due to his staff being too busy to even talk to their patients.
3/17/08 - Dr. Johnson performed my surgery flawlessly, checked on me twice in the hospital, he's a great surgeon! Still not a huge fan of his office staff but I think it was worth it to have him perform the surgery.

4 Months Down!

Today is my 4 month surgiversary!  I am down 82 lbs since surgery which is awesome.  I've stalled out this past week but I'm sure that will change.  I'm wearing clothes I haven't gotten into since high school which is pretty amazing.   I am feeling pretty good.  I've started losing a lot of hair which sucks but hopefully that will slow soon.  Luckily I have a lot of hair so it's not very noticeable.  I've really learned the no-drinking with meals because everytime I forgot and took a swig of water after a meal I got sick, but now I know to wait a half hour.  And my friends and people I work with are finally saying how great I look, it's about time!  

In the 4 months since my surgery I have lost 1.75" in my neck, 5.5" in my chest, 7.5" in my waist, and 7" in my hips!

Life is great and I am finally getting my confidence back, hallelujah!
