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.
When 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.

SAD DAY
6 days ago
It has been a year since losing dad...Couldn't sleep last night at all. Just keep thinking about the year that has passed.
Many things has happened over this past year that although I think dad would have been concerned about, I think he would also be proud.
I think he would be proud of me for going back into nursing. And even though I have run into a few road blocks, I know that in time it will happen. Sooner than later.
Dad loved his children, and grandchildren....and there was never any doubt in that. He would have loved to see how the kids have grown. They are all so cute, beautiful, handsome.......
He never got to meet his newest great grand daughter, Anna, She is so beautiful, and has so much personality...He never got to meet, little Henry, and Lane....
He never knew the struggles that William will endure.
But I know that he sees them from where he is in Heaven...and is watching over all of us.
I love you Daddy, I miss you every day. And think about you always.
People say it gets easier over time...I don't believe that...I think you just learn how to deal with it...Somedays are easier than others....But it is never easy.....
I don't know if I will ever get over the feeling of being orphaned...
When mom died....it was the hardest thing to live with...especially with mistakes that I had made in my life...But still having dad....made things easier....Now that he is gone.....Well.....let's just say...that no one understands what I am thinking, or dealing with....And no one ever will....
I live with the choices I have made every day, and wish I could change things....
I pray that Mom and Dad....know how sorry I am for the things that I have done.
I love you and miss you...
