Surgeon Testimonial

Daryl A. Stewart, M.D.
I had the DS with Dr. Stewart on March 5th, 2008. My first impression of him was that he was very serious about wls and about getting all of the facts about wls to his patients.

I feel that as I have gotten to know him, he not only is a wonderful surgeon but is funny and has a great personality as well.

Most of his office staff is wonderful, and I feel like part of a family every time I have gone there.

What I liked best about him? Can I say his eyes?

He has a great aftercare program and really seems to care about his patients after surgery.

I would recommend Dr. Stewart to anyone, and have to several friends and family members.

I think surgical competence is more important, and although I have heard from others that Dr. S lacks in bedside manner, he has shown me a side of him that I really could get to know and love.

    Best wishes, Kristi, for a textbook surgery and a speedy recovery. If the O.R. staff ask about feathers in the operating room just smile knowing it was because your switch sistahs and brothas were swinging chickens for you. Sandy

4 Month's Post-Op
on July 7, 2008 11:23 am
Wow I cannot believe it has already been 4 months.  The time has gone by so quickly it is unreal.  I feel great, can eat more than I ever thought possible, and am loving my DS so much.  I am so thankful this is the surgery that I had and I owe this life to the OH boards cuz without the wonderful people here I would have never known of this surgery.

Great things that have happened....  I dropped a bottle of water cap on the floor of the car and bent down and picked it up... AND I actually could reach it, I have never been able to touch the floor of the car before, if I dropped something it had to stay until I got where I was going.  My clothes are getting huge.  I just bought 4 new shirts a few weeks ago and they are already so big.  I only bought 1 pair of shorts and they are getting pretty baggy too, and an old pair of shorts fell right to the floor (thank goodness in my kitchen- but hubby got a good laugh)

My parents are getting closer to having WLS, my sister too so those are great things for me.  My DD has been working out and eating better and keeps telling me that someday soon we can share clothes!!

Bad things... well mixed things... DH is going to Iraq for a year.  I will miss him, but it will be so neat for him to come home and see me at my goal weight.  I have lost alot so far, but I really still am a fat person, when he gets home I don't think I will be.

I posted some new pictures and changed my avatar, I actually felt like it was a decent picture to do an update with, I put on makeup did my hair and felt pretty for the first time in a long time.
