Surgeon Testimonial

Watson Roye, Jr, M.D.
I just couldn't get over the concern and the time he spent with me. He just explained everything in detail. He didn't push it off on the nurse.
I still think that he was what the good Lord had in mind for me having the surgery. The Lord closed a window and opened the gate when I found Dr. Roye. His whole staff was just great. I had all the information I needed in what to do before the surgery and the support that will be needed after the surgery. Including the Support Group that was the next day and I went met a lot of nice people.
I haven't found anything that I would like least because everything is so positive.
He knows what he is doing and he cares. He stresses aftercare and staying on your diet and the support group. He explained the risks of the surgery and made sure that I understand them. I have several medical problems and one of them is DVTs (live long) and I do understand that moving around will keep them from forming. He was for me a God send. I now know about the surgical competence (but I hear so many good things about him) or the bedside manner yet. I had my surgery Wednesday 4-16-08 and I was home that afternoon and when I saw him before surgery, he was very upbeat and when I saw him after surgery, he was still upbeat. His bedside manner was good for me. I did have an issue with my insulin and called his office but I also called my PCP and my questions were answer, by my PCP. His office didnn't call back, they were probably busy. I got it taken care of and that is what matters.

    4-23-08 Insulin has been decreased again. Suppose to monitor blood sugars til Friday and give report to doctor again. I am so proud that the blood sugars are soooo good.

    Insulins have been decreased. Getting out and doing a little something. Walking, walking, walking.

Went to doctor today and I have lost 36 pounds.  I am doing good and I feel so much better.  Can't believe it.  What a way to start a new birthday off.  They added 2ccs to my band.  Dr. Roye is leaving this area and will be in Amarillo in three weeks.  Dr. Graham will be seeing me in August.

Just wanted to update about my insulin, I am off insulin altogether, back on oral meds during great. With more weight loss maybe I can get rid of them also. I missed water aerobics today.  I over slept and that has put my day in a pickle.  I love going and I just hate to miss.  Couldn't go Thursday this week, too much lightning and rain. They won't let you in the pool when lightning...Oh well, don't know what I will do today but I will get out and about...

Just keeping track on my fills
on June 14, 2008 6:21 pm
On May 28, 2008, I had my first fill and it was 4cc and I will have another one June 25, 2008.  I am not losing weight fast but I am losing inches, most of the clothes I had two years ago, I can wear and that makes me very happy.

Will be glad when June 10th gets here.  The pool has been closed for a week for training new people and cleaning of the pool for the summer.  I am getting a little stiff from not working out in the water.  I am still doing good, I have lost another two pounds.  Ready for the summer with new things going on.
