Surgeon Testimonial

Michael H. Wood M.D.
From Detroit, Michigan I Did a 1 1/2 year research on Dr. Micheal H. Wood,with over 25 years of surgical experience,and a extensive back ground in weight loss surgery. I than met Dr. Wood he is great.rnthe staff was very friendly, kind concerned and most of all ( professional).rnhe has done over (4) thousands gastric surgeries, and he is the co-founder of the Sapala-Wood Micropouch.All of his surgeries are performed at Harper University Hospital.which is a Center of Excellence, they also have a whole floor dedicated to GBS.rnhe emphaizes very much on aftercare its not just a tool to help lose weight but turning your health around living longer.Changing your life style is a must your mental thinking plays a major part, the best being able to get off some medications if not (all) completely.rnthey are both great. I give Dr. Wood and Dr. Taylor 110. there is nothing negative I can say or have found. go to MyABMI.COM search the two surgeons out.

Lets make it happen

Hi everyone, I pray all is well with you and yours.

well chrisy called from Dr.Woods said that she called Dr. Mizrahi office now that I took the MRI they found that I have a hernia Lumbar, ok I through the Lord can and will handle this. yet it is ok to go through with the surgery. Sabrina will fax the clearance over today or tomorrow, if she does not than chrisy will call her again.
well I have really been trying and doing very good on this diet but my weight is at a stand still. I went to a fostercare meeting before the meeting started the ladies were talking about one of the workers who had wls man how they were talking down on her. I am so glad no one knows but DH and my mom some people can be so discouraging that is sad.
you know this is about to really happen for me in my own way I am finally feeling all kinds of things as if tomorrow is my surgery. I guess this is the part I read allot about on here were everyone goes through this. yet staying calm making sure everything is in place at the hospital as well as at home.
just thought you would like to know whats been going on with me, I will soon be on the losers side.

Hi everyone it has been a minute since I have written, Lcfs called thats fostarcare they had two boys 10 and 2 they are brothers, the 10 y/o has Autism level 4#
my hubby and I were trained to handle this type of disorder.
any way they were removed from another foster home due to abuse and rape. they arrived the boys only had on gym shoes and a coat nothing else not even underpants.

I just went crazy you can see the marks and cuts on their little bodies, I could not take it. I, well just say my heart was crying out to God to help me and walter to help these children the 10 y/o saw me crying came over hug me said its ok. and the DHS worker said he never goes to anyone and can not talk she was shocked.
my DH cut their hair and I gave them a good scrubbing in the tub they ate a big meal but refused to eat with a fork or a spoon they were eating fast and with their hands like dogs.
they are soooo cute so keep them in your prayers they need love so so much love. I know this will take one day at a time.

on the other side I have lost 9 pounds but I stop losing. I am at a stand still. since I started the heart medications I feel so much better, I have my energy back cleaning, cooking walking like crazy. they ordered a MRI Dec 6,007 after this and all is well they will release my new surgery date.we'll see
other than this all is well, OOOOH I thank everyone for the beautiful christmas cards I really enjoyed getting them.
you best beleive yours is on its way.
May God bless everyone, I WILL be on the loser bench soon.
