Surgeon Testimonial

Phillip Hornbostel, M.D.
We went to the April 5th seminar and I felt so secure with my decision for the first time since I began thinking about surgery. Dr. Hornbostel is a very down to earth doctor, he knows how we got this way and he doesn't sugar coat it. I loved it when he talked about his goals for us. Each of us have an ideal weight we'd love to be but Dr. Hornbostel only cares about his goal for us which is to help us get rid of things like diabetes, arthritis, etc. He was very open about the risks of surgery and gave us information on how to recognize them. The aftercare program is very thourough. As I mentioned above I am very calm about this whole thing now and it is because of the confidence of Dr. Hornbostel and his staff.

I did it!!!
posted on 5/26/09 5:20 am
Well its a new week and I feel like I'm on my way to a new start. At my consultation I filled out some more paperwork  and then went back to be weighed. I'm right at 450 lbs. I've lost 22 lbs. since November which isn't a lot but the majority of that has been in the last few weeks. I am right at the weight limit for the hospital's equipment so I am going to try to be good and hopefully I'll lose a lot on my liquid diet.
Dr. Hornbostel wants us on high protein slim fast, which really makes my lactose intolerance scream, or Boost. I've never tried the boost so I don't know what it will do to my lactose intolerance, but I know it'll be better for my sugar. I'm ready to get the show on the road as you can tell.
They are supposed to be trying to get with my insurance to see what all they need for approval, etc. I've heard that they are very easy but I'm going to be on pins and needles until I find out.
I have been scheduled for my endoscopy and an appt. with my internalist on June 10th. I'm nervous about that but also happy to get it over with.
Other than that I'm just waiting and waiting.
