Surgeon Testimonial

Chris Sanborn
Dr. Sanborn is an AMAZING physician. I was initially scheduled with another surgeon and in the military you pretty much have to take what you can get. Due to some unforseen circumstances, Dr. Sanborn took my case. He was remarkably caring and understanding and truly seemed to care right from the start. He went out of his way to do my surgery on a week when he had not planned to do any RNYs. When I had difficulty adjusting to luquid medication after the procedure, he was right there to help me through it which truly inspired confidence. I'd recommend him to anyone in the military community. I just hope the Army can hold onto him. We need to keep the great ones!

Eight Months Out
on November 30, 2008 11:41 am
It's been eight months since my RNY and I think things are finally turning around.  My hair loss is slowing, thanks to a product line by Redken called Nioxin.  It's a three-step process and I use it every day and I have lots of new hair growth.  My hairdresser recommended it.
Also, since the docs recognized that my thyroid is haywire again and put me back on Synthroid, the constipation has resolved...Thank you, God. 
I've lost 93 lbs and I've held steady at this weight for a month now.  Maybe my weightloss has stopped...I'm okay with that.  I'm much healthier now and I feel much better.
I still struggle with nausea from time-to-time...like today, but the Zofran takes care of that so that I can function.
Am I happy I had the surgery...well, I'm not sorry about it anymore, and I guess that's a start.
