Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Clark
My first impression of Dr. Clark is that he truly cares about his patients and wants us to become healthier and happier people. He outlines all the risks and benefits and will answer any question you have. He stresses that aftercare is extremely important to our success after WLS. So far I am extremely pleased with him and the WLS program is very well organized. His office staff are friendly and professional and always there for you when you have a question or a problem. rnrnDr. Clark, is one of the BEST Surgeons. Low Complication rates, Successful patients, fantastic support team. Awesome office staff. He doesn't to Laproscopic, but he makes the timiest 3 1/2 inch incison. He's awesome. Can't recommend a better surgeon. Come to VA to have your Surgery with Dr. Clark!!!

    Hi Jane, I just want to thank you for your candid posts and for the photos that you've so graciously shared with all of us. I'm having an abdominal lipectomy in two days and it's given me a true view of what I can expect. Hope you are feeling better about your surgery. I'll bet that they're right and that once your swelling has subsided you'll be very satisfied. Thanks again, Julie

After going through the six month diet, collecting old medical weight loss records (Going back to when I was 10!), attending Weigh watchers, letters from my PCP and GYNO. I was denied by Cigna. I'm going to appeal but It's not looking good. What else do they want from? My first born son? My DNA? It's not even my hubby's employer that's denying it, it's Cigna themselves. They consider it elective surgery. Well, Cigna, it's not elective, it's necessary for my health and well being!  I gained 5 pounds in the last month too. I'm so depressed about everything right now. Half the time, I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning.
