Surgeon Testimonial

Donald Waldrep, M.D.
Dr. Waldrep and his staff are extemely professional and well-organized for the most part. Dr. Waldrep is very relaxed and easy to talk to. He has a bit of a dry sense of humor, which I love, and is also a bit silly as well. But, always professional. His PA, Mike, is also quite personable and easy to talk to. And again, silly and has an easy sense of humor. I think that a sense of humor is essential when in a doctor/patient relationship, as it takes the formalness out of the situation and makes it easier to feel free to talk openly with those providing care to you. rnThe before and aftercare programs are first rate and ultra important in their practice. Dr. Waldrep's office has a great relationship with Sutter Roseville Hospital and they definately work hand-in-hand to ensure the best possible results for their patients. Dr. Waldrep and his office staff are quite open with regard to discussing risks and requirements of weight loss surgery. rnDr. Waldrep is a fabulous surgeon with an impecable record of successes, and an amazingly low rate of complications.His bedside manner is easy going and comfortable. I don't have a single complaint about the care that he or his staff have provided for me.

Now I wait...

Okay, the nursing school application packets are officially in the mail. Now, I have to wait until mid December before I hear something about acceptance/denial. It's going to be a looooong fall season. In the meantime, I am suffering through a boring Poli Sci class. Somehow I thought it would be much more interesting, but I guess the online format takes away much of the interesting, and volitile, conversation that could be had in an on-campus class. Oh well, it's my last class toward my AS!!! I can't believe that in a couple of short months I can petition for graduation....finally :o).

Where has the time gone?
on September 22, 2008 3:16 pm
It's really unusual for me to be gone for so long...but, sometimes life takes a front seat. Nothing new has transpired on the weightloss front, so no news there. But, I did have a development on the school/nursing front. Today I had a appointment with a counselor to finalize one of my nursing application packets. Tomorrow is number 2. Then, they get mailed off and the countdown to the selection date begins. I am told not to expect to hear anything before 8 weeks after the October 15 application deadline. It's going to be a loooonnnggg fall waiting to hear something- good or bad. I need all the luck I can muster from here on out...so start swinging chickens or just think good thoughts!!
