Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Sonnanstine M.D.
Dr. Sonnanstine seemed very self-assured that he is one of the best bariatric surgons. This is a very comforting feeling. He's very straightforward, and doesn't lead you to believe that wls will CURE your obesity. This is a lifestyle change and will require a huge commitment on your part. I was mildly discouraged when I first left the office, that this proccess isn't going to be as easy as I hoped, but I would rather discover that BEFORE surgery than after I wake up afterwards.rnrnThe staff is very friendly and helpful. I feel not like a \"consumer\" or like I'm just another patient coming through a revolving door. I feel respected and well cared for, and I would never hesitate to call the office with any questions I have.rnrnI actually feel like the staff REMEMBERS me when I go in, and Taryn is a wonderful part of the staff there.rnrnI would highly recommend Dr Tom to anyone!

lets get the ball rolling
posted on 3/17/09 1:41 pm
ok, so I called my insurance company and Georgetown Community Hospital is in-network, and covered under my policy. Dr Tom's paperwork hasn't been processed yet, so they can't tell me if he'll be covered yet, but most likely, he will.

When I called back to make my appointment, the office had just closed, so I have to call back in the morning.

So, I called at 1 to check on the results of my upper gi from yesterday and they never called me back. First off, they told me they'd call me in the morning, and even after I called to check, they still never called me back.

I'm able to get down water, and a few sips of slim-fast, and I ate some sugar-free jello pudding with whipped cream. First thing I've had to eat in FOUR DAYS!!!! YPPIEEEE!

But I still have a LOT of restriction, and heartburn, plus an nagging burning pain on my right side. I don't know what that would be from, but I'm hoping it's not the gallbladder. If it is, I'll just have to wait on Dr Tom to start at GCH before I get it removed. I don't like these new doctors... that totally sucks

an hour and 20 mins is a loooong way to go
