Surgeon Testimonial

Stephan R. Myers, MD, FACS
I first met him at the informative group meeting. His staff and a speaker was present. I instantly felt that he was a very caring, kind, & knowledgeable surgeon. I wasn't thrilled about the expense associated that insurance does not pay for but after going through this for 2 months I do understand. He does require joining a gym which is part of the expensive but I am kind of glad now. I am now scheduled for surgery on 3/12/07 exactly 2 months from the time of my 1st appointment. Very quick!! Staff is very kind but I did have to keep on top of them. But I do understand they have a lot of patients and are currently functioning out of 2 offices. My last appointment with him confirmed that he does listen and give you the time to voice any concerns. Will update more after surgery! Surgery was 3 days ago. All has been going well seen MD 2 times a day in hospital along with his own special bariatrics nurse. Riverside nursing was not the best but MD and his direct staff were wonderful.

7/19/08 5K Run
on July 19, 2008 6:26 pm
How do I say WOOHOO in MAXIMUM VOLUME!!!!!!

I competed in my first 5K race today. And I completed it. I am so excited. My time was 30 minutes and 25 seconds. I am now ready for my next race and hopefully be under 30 minutes.

I was very nervous and felt a little intimidated. Everyone else appeared to be experienced in racing and was taking this very serious. I just wanted to complete it and have fun. But I found someone else who was a first timer so that was nice. Made me relax a little. The race was hard very different from running on a treadmill. The course was not flat. Had a good size hill and many inclines.

16 months ago I could not have imagined doing this what a change these months have been. My life has changed so much for the better. I now can't wait to go to the gym. I relish the thought of my muscles shaking from being fatigued because I know that I have worked them as hard as I can. I want to continue running for now and see were this takes me.
