Surgeon Testimonial

James Foote, M.D.
I first met Dr. Foote the night of the orientation. My first impression of him was that he is a very kind caring Dr. with a sense of humor. I like that in a Dr. as opposed to someone that is so sour and serious. So that really impressed me, and helped ease some of the nerves of checking into this surgery. I also found out that he is a Christian...which means alot to me. :o) My husband and I met with him for my counseltation, we were both very happy and comfortable with him. He went above and beyond to make sure he explained everything to us. He never made our visit with him feel rushed, and took the time with us. He also made sure he answered all of our questions, and explained some of the pre/post op things that will be going on. I really liked his nurse, she was very nice. The office ladies were nice too. They all made you feel very comfortable, and didn't look at you as being overweight. Just an all around comfortable feeling.

~ My appt went great yesterday.  YEAH I was able to get my tubes out, which I was sooo happy for that.  Here I was so scared of having them removed, and I didnt even know when he was doing the left one.  Again, I got all worked up for nothing.  I feel like a free woman with those things not hanging out of me.  My shower was great this morning.  Altho I do have "holes" where the tubes came out that he said would close up and heal fine.  I do keep them covered, as to me it looks so grose.  haha  

WOW I love the way I look now, even Dr. Foote was impressed with his work.  He just looked at it and kept smiling telling me how nice it looked.  He did an awesome job on me again.  I still have to wear the garment for another 4 - 6 weeks to  help hold things in.  That is ok, as I feel so much comfortable with that on, along with the protection I feel it gives me.  I go back to see him in 2 months for another check up on things.  He said I should be fine from here on out, but said I do have a 50% chance of fluid building up under my skin, and if that happens I need to go back and see him, and he will drain it with a needle.  Sounds yucky to me, so I hope I dont have that happen.   

I feel better each day, and love to stand in front of the mirror to see the new me.  It amazes me to see what  a difference 1 year has brought to my life.   I love it!!  

Until later....
Hugs and blessings to all  ~
