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.

I am finally on the other side...
on April 25, 2010 6:14 am
I am home from surgery!  Got home yesterday evening... hospital stay was fair... had more pain that I thought... but no complications so I got to come home... SOOO glad to sleep in my own bed... but I forgot that I move a lot when I sleep... so finding comfortable positions was a bit tricky... but all in all... it's a good thing...

I am so happy to not be hungry any more!  Now I can concentrate on my recovery and not have to worry about the next yummy food lurking around the corner... the only thing I want in abundance is water!  So that is a good thing for me!

I am not having any trouble with the meds and no nausea since leaving the hospital... today will be my first full day at home... I will let you know... but I am expecting it to be uneventful!

Thanks for all the calls, messages and visits at the hospital... you will never, ever know how much that had meant to me.  You all are the best... and I will be here for you if you ever need me.... It will be my pleasure and honor.

Smooches for now... you'll hear from me soon!
