Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas K Byrne M.D.
My first impression of him was that he is very informative. He gave an hour long lecture that told about every part of the procedure. He told you about the success stories and the ones that had troubles. He explained all of the risks.rnrnHe left you to make up your mind on what procedure you wanted to have with out trying to sway you in either direction. I kind of felt like they were much more comfortable not doing the Lap band, although they would, only because they had done more of the other.rnrnDr. Morgan gave me my first work up. I requested that Dr. Byrnes do the surgey and I felt like I insulted her. She was very nice about it, I just hate hurting people's feelings. After requesting that I consult with Dr. Byrnes the same day, he was there in minutes, answering any question's that I had. I truely feel like any of the Doctor's in his team would be great.rnrnI arrived at MUSC at 8am and left at 4:30pm. I talked with everyone from the financial consultant to the doctors, the dietion, the nurse, the phyc doctor, and I sat through 3 classes. But when I left, I had tons of information.rnrnI believe my choice in MUSC and Dr. Byrnes and his team was a good one.rnrn

    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.

  Hi everyone!!!!!!

Just wanted to share a few WOW moments with you.

I bought this cute little pair of skorts, size 16, that were on clearance.  I figured I'd put them up until I could get into them.  While talking on the phone, I slipped them on to see how far I need to go to be able to wear them....and they not only slipped on, they zipped up.  I nearly peed my pants.

The second one came as I perfomed my daily ritual of waking up, going to the bathroom then standing on the scales.  They said 176.  WHAT!!!!!!!   176.  I haven't been that in so many years I can't remember even being in the 170's.

I am on top of the world.

I am going to my family doctor today for a little knott on my wrist.  I am excited to see my doctor.  I know he will be proud of me.  He has supported me so well.  Hopefully he will document my tummy and when the time comes, maybe it will help me with my plastic surgery.  I'd probably be in a 12-14 if I didn't have this kangaroo pouch as a tummy. 

I hope everyone else surgery is going as good as mine has.  And if you are thinking about this, DO IT!!!  It's the best thing I have ever done for myself.
