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.

No Exercise this week
This has been the worse week for me.  I haven't been able to go to water aerobics and this will last all week.  It is raining and they won't let you get in the water if it is raining.  I really miss it.  I miss the people.  It is fun and I will have to find something else to do this week.  I guess I can walk around the local Wal Mart or grocery store.  If I do that, it will be boring but it is exercise.  I want to be down 50 pounds when I go back to the doctor's office Sept. 15.  It is a goal and I want to make that goal.  I have done well since I had the surgery and I just want this more than ever.  I don't know what I want to prove but it is a goal I want to achieve. My life is improving with my health and I don't won't to miss this goal.  It is a milestone for me. I guess I am afraid that I want go back to water aerobics, if I get out of the habit.  I just have my fears right now.  Oh well, God made the rain and I know he knows what he is doing.  With him in my heart, I know I can do anything.
