Surgeon Testimonial

John L. Coon (COE)
I am very frustrated and concerned..do not know if it is Dr. Coon or his staff, but I get the feeling that now the surgery is over and the bill is paid, I am not that important anymore. I was having problems getting my weight under control, then was passing out, called the office and they told me he would be going on leave in a few days and would not be able to see me for a couple of weeks...I am passing out and I guess no big deal. I read a lot of peoples blogs etc and they talk about how there dr/office is there for them know matter what. I sure do not get that feeling. I guess next week I will contact Fort Irwin and see what I can do to find someone who really cares about me and my fears.


Dr. Coon is wonderful. Seems very concerned and makes sure he answers all my questions. Love his bedside manners. When I first started this journey and had to get all the paperwork together so they could forward to my insurance for approval...there was couple of individuals that were very lazy and rude. Kind of acted like I was putting them out because I expected them to do there job. There was one lady..that was wonderful.
Now that I have been approved by my insurance and am working on the scheduling, preop and soon to be operation...that staff is wonderful. So overall with only one glitch...I would have to say...so far pretty GREAT.

Getting Excited
on April 27, 2012 8:05 pm
 I am almost 4 years out and am finally getting a LBL and breast lift and augmentation.  So excited but scared.  I hear so many different things from people.  Any advice...things that i should know?  If you had procedures done how long were you out of work?  How bad was the pain?  Did you go way down in the size of clothes etc?  When did you start feeling normal?  And for sure would you do it again?

 This has been a terrific journey, but so fearful I am going to destroy this wonderful road I am on.  Got to goal weight but now the issue is I have gained 10 lbs and eating carbs like they are going out of style.  I know I am not drinking my protien like I should but can't find any I like.  I have heard their is protien that you can put in coffee...and they really like them.. have not found anything I like yet.  I need suggestions on how to get myself back on track....any advice appreciated....

Plastic Surgery
on March 15, 2009 8:17 am
I am about 10 lbs away from goal but know that I am definetly going to need some plastic surgery.  My tummy is horrible, and my boobs (what boobs) are a joke.  Need to know where to begin and how do you know what all you should do?  For those ladies out there who have had it done any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

WAS ONLY HOME FOR SHORT STAY
on July 22, 2008 2:46 pm
I posted on the 12 Jul 08, I was happy to be home.  Well that stay did not last long.  I ended back in the hospital on 14th had emergency surgery on 15th and was just released yesterday!!!!!!  Now let me tell you....I am sure glad to be home.  Feeling much better.  They told me I am very lucky to be here.  For some reason not sure why (that %) my surgery just did not take.  I ended up with a horrible infection and something about the stomach not staying in tack.  This time I feel much better and much more postitive.  Missed you all.  Good luck and God Bless to all of you.  In this whole mess I have lost 19lbs...so that is a good thing.

My Story

  Hi my name is Kelly and I am a proud mother of two.  My daughter is 17 and son is 15.  I have a wonderful husband and just a wonderful family.  My problem is I have always had a weight problem.  I know deep down inside I am a good person (mother, wife, daughter, sister,  friend and employee but I just do not like what I see in the mirror.  I have thought about having this surgery a few times but was never heavy enough.  Well believe me I am there now.  I started my journey on April 10th and am now having surgery July 9th.  Can't wait.  I am JUST SO READY TO LOVE THE INSIDE AND OUT OF KELLY!!
