Surgeon Testimonial

Robert E. Cole, M.D.
My first Impression of Dr Cole was that he was soft spoken and quiet. He came into the room and talked to both my husband and I. He asked me husband to sit in the chair to my right so he could sit beside me to my left. I have not had someone be THAT informative in so long with my own personal information. It felt great. He was very honest. He said that this is not a fix and would only work for me as much as I was willing to make it work for me. rnrnHe was referred to me by a friend who had him as a surgeon and I am so appreciative that she sent me his way. He stated up front that he only does open RNY and that is fine with me. It isnt for everyone. He told me that his only control is how things are handled in the OR.. which is very true. He has no control of how we choose to use the tool after we leave him.rnrn

I am down by 81lbs!! Where did it go??
posted on 11/18/08 11:39 am
OK So I went to the Rheumatologist Monday and they are going to have me get a cervical spine and Lumbar Ct done to make sure there are no major issues and then I am free to go to the Chiropractor. They gave me a wonderful non drowsy muscle relaxer sample and script to try until I go back in 4 weeks. Also gave me cortisone injections in both hips for Bursitis.....

Exciting part is that their scales comfirmed that I am down to 164! That thrilled me sooo much. I mean I can get on and off my scales all I want but when I see it on the dr's scales it just feels so much better! It is now in my chart.. hehe

They said I have good flexibility and range of motion for hearing all of the cracking and creaking going on with the movements she was doing. To which I responded  "I have 4 kids, a hubby, and a job.. I have to keep moving."

After going there I went to work and got the paperwork to enroll in the LPN tuition Program. They will pay 100% if I work for them as such after graduation for 2 years. Totally do-able. It is all filled out and I have 3 co-workers writing letters of referral for me ..(including my Nurse Manager). I got my application into the LPN Program today and it is good to go. I just finally feel that the timing is so right to do this.I will take my entrance exam in December and begin school in March. Session goes from March 2009 to Jan of 2010.

Hubby is working the job he wanted to in high school and slowly but surely I am getting there to the job I have always wanted. I kind of did it all backwards. I had my kids first, got married, made life happen and work and now--- it is time to finish off my dreams. I love my RNY!
