Surgeon Testimonial

Noel Williams, M.D.
I was so impressed with the entire staff at University of Penn. My initial appt. was over 2 hours and Dr. Williams spent quite a bit of time with me.
His bed side manner is great too, good sense of humor and he is careful which I like.
They covered everything from how I would bed eating to risk essement and helped me to understand what would be happening to my body and that this is not a so called "QUICK FIX".
I definitley like him.

POST OP- This is an increadible/compassionate man. When I was in pre-op he was worried he would not be able to do surgery becasue of possible adhesions. I was the last surgery of the day and instead of giving up or rushing he took an extra 1 1/2 hours to clean out every adhesion so I could have my dream. He is kind, caring and has the best bed side manner I have seen in a surgeon, since my spinal surgeon Dr. Vaccarro at Jefferson.

4 1/2 months out
Hey all,
I haven't had a chance to check in for so long.  I am currently down 79lbs and am 179.  I am in size 16 now I can't believe it and I am finally joining a gym that I really love and I am so excited about it.  Eating has finally turned the corner for me.  I am able to eat 6 times a day about 4oz each time.  I am trying new things and as everyone told me, I have finally turned the corner, Praise God.
I have missed you all so much.  Things have been really hard at home.  As I have said in the past, we are losing our home, we lost our car, by Gods grace we have another one at half the price and a better car fuel wise.  The one blessing is that we could be in the house for quite a while during foreclosure because the market is so bad.  So all I am hoping for is 1.5 years so my kids can be in this house when they graduate high school.  What a great blessing that will be.
I am still smoking and I truly ask all of you to pray for me that I quit on New Years, it is so important to me.  The other prayer I have is that this coming year My family and myself truly get to a place in Christ that is where He wants us.  One that is real, going to church, being available to help others.
I love you all and pray your holidays bring you great joy.
Love
Trish
