Surgeon Testimonial

Gus J. Slotman, M.D.
I had lost over 100 pounds on my owen then I notice after a while I started to gain it back a little at a time , I got so mad , I decided
RNY my aunt went to Dr Slotman he was great , right to the point, My first app with Dr S. 2/10 then I went to all the doctors I needed to go to. got all the Dr app done by 4/1 , faxed all my papers to the Dr S on the 4/5 Mon and they faxed everything to my Inc on 4/7 my Inc approved on 4/13 surgey is plan for 5/10 , I still have a pre op meeting to go to on 4/26 and Then Dr S 4/27 Finaly Pat at the Hospital on 5/3 , It didn't take long , I choose Dr S. because he does open RNY and I feel comfortable with the old way of surgey ,
The office staff is great , Karen , & Dawn are wonderful !! Thank you Girl ! I will tell everyone about Dr. Slotman. it was painless !

Life is short enough without me making it shorter !!! taking one day at a time !!! Maybe I should have gotten the Lap band < I can think about what IF now !  Truly Dee

I had my RNY on 5/10/10 and then came home on 5/13/10 ended up back in the hospital on 5/19/10 , for surgery on my bowel blockeage I spent alot of days in there , I went home on 6/14/10 , I had a  nurses coming to my home three days a week to change my wound vac on my belly , this hole in my belly started as big as 11 in by 11in , now it's around 11/2  in by 6 in , and when ever I walk I had a tube that hangs from me and a should pack to carry ! My husband  says I didn't walk enough !

(so far ) , Im not working out yet (waiting on Dr's) Thanking God for his Grace !!
