Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Thomas, M.D.
I like Dr. Thomas. He is very direct and informative. The office staff is very helpful and friendly. They are chronically late! Accept it and give yourself and extra hour for everything. If you are looking for a touchy-feely, nurturing doctor, Doc Thomas is not your guy. I actually prefer his style, I don't care for someone patting me and calling me \"hon.\". Aftercare is emphasized by everyone in the office. The band is a tool to get you where you need to go, but I still have the majority of the work to do myself. We addressed all the risks of surgery and alternatives. I give Dr. Thomas a 10. All my parts seem to be in working order. I also give Chris, the PA, a 10+, she is fantastic. These are all my personal opinions and I would recommend Dr. Thomas and all the doctors in his group to anyone thinking of WLS.

DOIN' A Happy DANCE!
posted on 5/14/07 6:58 am
48 lbs. In two lbs I will be at my first goal!
I am so freaked out, I had a fill last Tuesday and it has made such a difference. I felt like I pigged out on Saturday, then when I got on the scales yesterday, I had dropped a couple of lbs. I went back and evaluated what I actually ate, and I hardly ate anything. I just felt full from what I ate. I am feeling pretty good about it. 
My first goal is 50 lbs and my reward is another tattoo on my foot. In the interim, my tattoo guy, Buddha, died unexpectedly. So I will probably put that off for a little while. 
It has taken almost exactly 5 months to get here. I guess an average of 10 lbs a month is pretty good. I did not realize that until today. 
The band is working even when I dont always realize it.
