Surgeon Testimonial Robert Marvin, M.D. I meet my surgeon for the first time when I had to have an Endoscopey done. He was an absolute dream. He and his staff are great. I have a great belief that he was the doctor I should have choosen the fisrt time. He gave me all of the risk that are involed with having this surgery and the risks involed for me. I have had numerous other surgeries in the past and he just laid it on the line for me. I can not wait to get my surgery done on the nov. 18, 08. Member Interests

New to the game
well let me begin by saying that I am new to the site. I am a mother of two adult sons and have been married for 20 years now. 19 of those years I have been what they now call super morbidly obese. Wow, what a way to think of yourself. I have also had 3 hernia operations in the past 6 years and this past October my PCP tells me she wants me to have a gastric bypass done before the now 4 hernia is repaired. I have also had a hard time of getting around the past three years. I have had chronic back pain and my feet hurt all the time from trying to do any type of activity. Needless to say I have become a home body beacuse I donn't want to get out in public for fear of stares and needing to constantly take breaks when we (my family and I ) go to do things together. Even family functions have been a nightmare for me these last few years. I feel that I am an out going person but hate the feeling that I am being condemded for being over weight. I am hoping to have wls as soon as I can. I do have an appointment with Dr. Garth Davis on 3/27/08 and I am praying that all goes well. I was ahead of the game, because before I even went to orientation I had already found the things I needed form my insurance co. UHC. Now it is just up to the Dr. I have been coming to the site for the last month and reading the fourms and really feel that this is a great site for people like me and all the over weight people out there in the world. I also finally built up the courage to join. See the thing for me is that I have always been a loner type person because I had a rough up bring and find it hard to trust others not judge me. It is hard because even my own parent did just that when I was in high school. I am not trying to get my self to look like a super model just feel better about my self and be able to go on the long walk that I have been craving for years. So now here I am I have joined the league of men and women who are teying to get the surgery and who have had it done. All I can do now is leave it in Gods hands and pray that all goes as I pray they will... 1 Comment(s)
