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. Member Interests

September 2007
 Sept. 23, 2007 Well my surgery went very well on the 19th, I had my hernia repaired and my tummy tuck, then he come across a couple of other things to tend to while in there, which put my surgery 4 hours instead of the 2 - 3 that he had though. I was ok getting prepped for surgery, which I was thankful for, because I had cried days on end prior to surgery. So far I am feeling ok, altho I hate the 2 tubes I have in me. What a pain they can be, especially when I shower. They just hang there. lol I go back to see my Dr. on Oct 8th, will post more then. Hope and pray my tubes come out then. Until later... Hugs and blessing to all Sept. 17, 2007 ~ Well here I am 13 months post op. I weighed in at 147 this morning, with a total loss of 122 lbs. WOW.....that is more than what my oldest son weighs. I sure feel much better, and live life to the fullest each and every day. I love life!! I have 12 lbs to go to my "goal" but am thinking I want to go alittle farther down....maybe 15-20 more lbs. Only time will tell tho. If/when i lose my 12 lbs. I will have lost 1/2 of what I used to be. WoooHoooo My hernia repair and tummy tuck are the day after tomorrow....the 19th. I am starting to get a bit nervous, but am sooo ready for it. I look at my stomach, and extra hanging skin, especially when I lean over. I HATE IT!! So keeps me looking posative and forward with my surgery Wednesday. I got a call from the Hospital, I have to be there at 6:oo am, and surgery is set for 8:30 am. WOW it is real again, im starting to get a bit nervous, but am sure I will be fine. I cant wait to finalize my steps into the new me. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Until Later... Hugs & Blessings to all~ Sept. 7th, 2007 Yesterday I had an appt. with Dr. Foote to discuss my hernia he found during my surgery. It was great pleasure to finally see him again, as I havent seen him since my 2 week post op appt. He was completely amazed at how I looked, which made me feel very good. I took 2 pre op and 2 1yr. post op pictures with me, to show him the change he helped me make in my new life. He was in awe as I am, and asked if he could please keep all the pictures, so that he could use them at meetings and orientations. I agreed, and hope to be an inspiration to many others out there. We had a nice long visit, and discussed many things. He wanted to know what I thought about the "very little" bit of skin I have on my tummy. I told him I "hated" it and he thought it was "cute". haha Anyway, he said while in doing my hernia repair he would do a tummy tuck on me. I am soooo excited and happy to know that the little bit of saggy skin I have will be gone. YEAH!! MMPC called alittle bit ago, and I am all scheduled for my hernia repair/tummy tuck on Wednesday Sept. 19, 2007 first one of the day. WoooHoooo I am soooo excited, I cant wait. Not sure what it will be like, so hope to talk to a few people that have had it done, so I can kinda get an idea what to expect from it. Off to do digging, Until Later.... Hugs & Blessings to all

Cheryl, hope things are going well for you. I didn't realize that your surgery already happened.
