Surgeon Testimonial

Michael H. Wood M.D.
I am impressed with Dr Wood, I think he is a really committed to Bariatric Surgery. I like the idea that he has 25 years surgical experience overall. I did have the pleasure of working in one of the hospitals he has practiced in. That sort of give me an an advantage.. I know about his caring attitude toward his patients and how they all "brag" on his bedside manner. I used to see him come in every morning and see each patient , which seems normal but if you know about hospitals, you'll know that sometimes thats a big deal to see YOUR physician and not the surgical resident!!! My consult with him only made me feel more confident in my decision to choose him as a surgeon and to have the procedure overall. He emphasizes aftercare, DIETS and the importance of following "THE GUIDELINES". He went into detail on the procedures he offered and the pros and cons of all of them. He does hold the patent onthe WOOD-SAPALA micropouch but doesnt force any procedure on you either way. My concern is that there is a long office wait(from other posts/reviews I've read), so I'll have to see about that with future appts.

    Well Everyone I've been home a couple of days and doing rather well. Pain has been minimal and I've been walking on my block and sipping. The gas continues to be a problem, but I'm dealing with it. I wanted to thank all of you for you support, words of encouragement and advice, also for the phone calls, e mails and visits during my hospital stay. You guys have really been GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Again~~Simone

My Journey

Moving right along!!
posted on 12/12/08 2:52 am
I had a really restless night, not sure why.  Once again Im up to an early start, I was actually able to get alot done yesterday.  After a minor set back with my truck battery I made it to da gym.  I was really psyched to walk in and see the row of spin bikes, actually the same one I have but the commercial grade.  I just think it would be better to do in a group.  Its a trial basis for the next month, I missed yesterdays am session but plan to be there next week.  Today I'm sticking to the treadmill and step aerobics at home.........prepare to return to work 2night!!
