Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Sonnanstine M.D.
I first met Dr Tom in Oct. 2005, when my sister had her Lap RNY...I thought he had the best bedside manner of any Dr. I had ever met. In Mar. 2006, I needed a surgeon to remove my Gall Bladder, and found out just how GREAT he really is. rnWhen I saw him about having WLS, he answered all my questions before I had the chance to even ask. I am very confident that this decision was right for me, And, my choice of surgeons is also right...Dr Tom is the BEST

    I just saw Angela's post on the KY board, and I am heartbroken for you all. I know there's not much I can say, but I can only imagine the pain you're going through. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello.....My name is Amy. I am a 49 yr old mother of 3, all of which are grown, and have families of their own. I have 7 beautiful grandchildren, who are the lights of my life.  My wonderful husband Robert passed away in Jan.2006 from complications from diabetes. My weight has always been an issue for me, but while married to Robert, it was not an issue, because he loved me BIG. Now it is time for ME. I have a long family history of heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure problems etc. Diets have never worked for me. I will lose for a while, then the pounds come right back on without changing my diet, so I give up. I currently am on blood pressure medication, and my blood sugars are on the rise. So now is the time to do something about this weight before it is too late.
WLS is something I have thought about for a long time. But recently my sister, and my daughter have undergone Lap RNY, and are doing fantastic. Now is MY time to become healthier for the first time in my life. I know the journey is long and hard. And with God's help and my family support I know I will succeed.

Been a While

It has been a while since I have posted anything. So here goes. So many changes...where to begin.
I married the "blind date" that I last posted about. We were married a year in June. I have never been happier.
I am still in nursing, but recently started working for Hospice, and I love it. Everything is going fantastic, I feel great. My weight is still good. Between 135-142. Have no issues at all with my weight. I am very happy. And having my surgery almost 4 years ago, is the best thing I have ever done. Still very thankful for my wonderful Dr. Tom.
