Surgeon Testimonial Kenneth B. Jones, M.D. Choosing a good surgeon was my top priority when I decided to have WLS. First, I listened to what others had to say about the surgeons in my city. Then I asked several doctors, who I work with, for their independent opinions of whom they would recommend. I told them what kind of surgery I had chosen and they ALL reccommended the same MD; Dr. Kenneth B. Jones. I learned that he was the most experienced surgeon for WLS in this area and that he had done thousands of RNY. His office staff, Sue and Kim also came highly reccommended by previous patients. I found him and his staff to be so helpful and supportive. I am a self pay patient, so they did their best to advise me of the probable costs involved. Dr. Jones answered all mine and my husbands questions before surgery and in the hospital. He has also shown a great deal of concern and dedication to me in the aftercare. He has offered his help at any time I need it. He completelty addressed all risks and benefits of surgery, the lifestyle changes necessary to adapt to afterwards and the assurance that this procedure was generally a very safe procedure long term if one follows aftercare instructions. I would highly reccommend him to any patient. Member Interests

Life is Good
So, eating real food is a pleasure. Only eating a small amount is also a pleasure. You do in fact get full after a small amount of solid food. My coworkers said I eat like a bird....ME?? Yes, me. Now I do. Now, when I sit with my friends in the cafeteria at work, I marvel at how people can fit all that food into their stomachs. I find myself staring. I remember eating that much food, too. Now, I am very satisfied eating a small amount of whatever I eat. I no longer fear food or the freedom to try new foods. It's just wonderful! I am down 30 pounds and I am excited and at peace. My doctor is not one to "count" grams or ounces of anything, so even though I do concentrate on protein and fluids, he does not obsess over it, so I don't. That's very freeing. I feel relaxed about food. I no longer crave eating everything I see like I had the past few weeks. I have found some foods don't settle as well and I know what can happen if I eat too fast or too much. It's a delicate balance that requires you to slow down and chew well. The beauty of it is that doing those two things allows you to really taste your food and be satisfied with much less. I hope you all are doing well, too. 1 Comment(s)
