Surgeon Testimonial

William Chapman M.D.
Here is my personal experience with my surgeon. If you choose him, your experience may be different. This review is only my personal opinion.

Dr. Chapman is a very skilled surgeon. He is very nice and extremely sensitive to your needs. He is tough, though and he wants you to be sure that you understand his program. He does not really compromise on that front.

Aftercare so far has been great! The staff is responsive and will call as soon as possible (many times within 2 hours) if you have a question, no matter how trivial you may think it is! The best part for me has been no co-pays for 90 days post-op! That saves me loads of money...

If you choose Dr. Chapman, there will be lots of paperwork for you to sign, so you know what you are getting into (as much as you can know before surgery).

So far I would rate him an A+ for surgical competence and an A for bedside manner. He is in and out so fast, you have to have your questions ready! He will stay to answer them, though, no matter how many you may have.

I am very happy with my surgeon choice.

One Year Ago...
on April 23, 2011 3:11 pm
Was the day my life changed forever... And yet I missed the day!  My surgery was one year ago, yesterday!  I totally missed it!  I am so busy living, I missed it!  How's them apples?

I want to say all the right things... that I am grateful, healthier, thinner, etc.  But You know what?  All I want to do is DANCE!!!!

How fun is that?  I am planning a big move... contemplating a new career... selling my house... I promise it is a mid-life REBIRTH, not a crisis! 

I am fabulous, sexy, healthy and wise!  So after one year on this journey, that is just how I am!
