Surgeon Testimonial Uretz J. Oliphant, M.D. My first impression of Dr. Oliphant was a neutral one. He answered my questions and explained my procedure to me. By the second time I saw him, I knew I liked him. He was very professional, and takes his job VERY seriously, but you could tell he had a sense of humor as well. I also attended a bariatric seminar when he spoke. He is very passionate about what he does and I couldn't be more pleased with the care I received as a patient of Dr. Oliphant and his staff. He answers all questions and concerns and you can tell he GENUINELY cares about ALL of his patients. I felt I was in GREAT hands through my entire procedure and hospital stay. His staff is amazing as well. They NEVER forget to return a call and they all care about patients as well. They didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had, big or small. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking into bariatric surgery. Member Interests
cpbkmb06's Journey Click Here To View Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery. I have always been on the larger side. Taller and heavier than any of my friends, or when I was younger my classmates. I always felt like I towered over them and definitely stood out the crowd. I was called their "fat" friend by people that didn't know my name. I hate to clothes shop. I always have. I hate that just because you need a plus size the only things you can find have HUGE flowers or tweety birds on them :( I am in my 20's. I like to be fashionable just as well as a skinny person, but it is MUCH harder to find anything. Esp if you are on a budget. I deal with constant feet, ankle, knee, and lower back pain. I have no energy. I have a hard time keeping up with work, school, housework, and my kids. Thank goodness my hubby is a HUGE help to... Latest Surgery Support Comments No comments posted yet.

My Story Hello, My name is Kayla. I am currentlly in the process of VSG. I am to be sleeved 02/02/12! I have always been a bigger person. I am 5'10" and the lowest I remember being was my senior year in H.S. at 187. I am now a whopping 289! A year ago, my pcp mentioned Bariatric Surgery to me and I thought, NO WAY. It isn't for me. But a year later and still 289 (I maintain!), here I am! About 6 months after that visit, I started rethinking the idea. My husband and I attended a support group for bariatric surgery patients and my eyes were opened. This IS for me! I CAN do this! My first realistic goal is to get to my pre-pregnancy weight from my second child (240 lbs!) and go from there! (I would like my ending goal to be about 165 or so, but I am setting small starting goals!) I am married with 2 wonderful children that keep me VERY busy. I am losing energy to keep up with them and just don't feel "good" overall. I can't wait until someone tells me how nice I look without the dreaded "You have such a pretty face!", as if the rest of me is disgusting! Anything else, just ask! |
