Surgeon Testimonial

David C. Voellinger, M.D.
The first time I saw Dr Voellinger was at the seminar.The next day was my consoltation with him..His office staff is great and so polite even after my 64 questions...LOL.. And he has performed surgery on 3 of his own staff and they all look great..But Dr Voellinger as a person was wonderful to talk to he has a strong voice and knows what he is talking about he was very frank told me all the postives from having this surgery and most important he told me all of the risks the could happen because of this sugery. He put me at ease with his conversations. He is not a surgen that has branched out into this field this is what he specializes in. Helping the obese people to live a longer & healther life.He does have a structed after care whch is great shows that he cares & that he doesn't just open you up and say your done have a nice life. He wants to have a clear picture on your progress.I would rate Dr Voellinger with a super A+ and as for the his bedside manner that is to be seen after my surgery which were doing oct 23rd 2006..

Ok planed another trip back to New Jersey this time was we were throughing my mother a surprise 65th birthday party, So this time for sure I had my bottle of pottassium with me. I was also scheduled to have my diilation done on March 6rd because I still can't eat solids. We left North Carolina at 4:30am march 3rd the day of the party made to it Jersey by 3:30pm the party starts at 6:30 so being tired We went to the hall washed up there and we all changed our clothes. The party went off great the entertainer we hired was hilarious, You can look him up under dennymore.com . Now keep in mind we have to be back in North Carolina on Monday, So I can make my other long trip to Charlotte the next day to have my prcedure done, Well I didn't make it. The end of the night of the party my husband had another heart attack he had two arteries clooged they unclogged him and installed two stents.Now he has three stents. So needless to say we were stuck in Jersey till Tuesday . The doctor let him go on Tuesday we left Wensday Morning at 5am headed back to NC got home at 6PM.. What a weekend

Hello there journal, I know I haven't written in 2 months but during the past 2 months have really been the same daily..I have been getting in all the required amount of protein,taking my vitamins, drinking all my liguids.But still wasn't able to eat solids..Christmas time I fixed a hugh dinner had the family in but wasn't able to eat a single thing.Then for New Years we decided to take a trip to New Jersey to see my parents well as soon as I hit Virgina I felt really awful enough to call the rescue squad felt like I was having a heart attack. Got the hospital they took blood did all the ekg stuff for my heart and thank god it wasn't my heart it turned out my potassium was extreamily low down to a 2.7 very dangerous,so they put potassium in my IV and gave me some to drink which tasted like drinking the ocean but with in a few hours I felt like a new person and now I have liquid potassium to take every other day. We continued our trip made to my parents and had a fantastic time brought the New Year in with them.

Nov 6th Doctors visit
on November 8, 2006 11:04 am
Well I went & saw my doctor it's been two weeks... He removed my staples from the hernia area.. It's red & still kind of raw there.. But it felt so good to get them out..I'm getting 75 grams of the protein drink down per day now.. the best news from the doc was I can eat even though it has to be like mush it was still food..

The good thing with my job is there is a lot of walking. Still having trouble getting my quota of 60 grams of the protein in.. But I'm working on it...
