Surgeon Testimonial

David Schumacher, M.D.
Well I just met him8-25-08. So all I can say right now is he made me feel at ease. Actually everyone there thus far has been very good about everything. He has excellent credentials and he listened and was honest and explained everything and I like the way they explained the surgery they do and from what I saw I am pleased. Awaiting my answer from insurance. He's good people.

Well now I just wait....
7 days ago
I've come this far and I will just be patient and know that my Lord has my back. I live by one thing these days- I don't expect anything so that when I get something it is a SURPRISE-and 2- Today is a gift (my lord does not have to let me wake up, He could call me at anytime to stand before HIM and answer for my life upon deciding to let me into Heaven, this is why everyday we are given is called the present- yeasterday is truly the past because it's gone and over and done with you get to if you blessed start over the next day- tommorrow is a mystery because well anything can happen.. so we'll just wait and see and hope for Tommorrow to come.

MY STUFF IS GOING TO INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on August 27, 2008 3:56 pm
I went to Kettering hospital and I am so happy.   My paperwork went off to insurance as of Monday. Finally after running it circles pulling my hair out waiting and reading up on stuff in the meantime I finally am in a good place with good people to see me through. I actually have COMPLETE confidence in the staff. that's a rarity for me to feel like that.It was recommended by some of my internet buddies who've had surgery there and you know what, they made me feel very very comfortable and at ease I felt respected and well- That's all I have to say about that. It is 4 hours from meI would drive it each week if I had to. when you find a hospital that you are comfortable and a doctor that you really connect with you are truely blessed. That's it nothing more to add. I am very comfortable with my decision to go there very well worth the drive. Give them a call I'm glad I did.

Today I found out what the deal is....
on July 31, 2008 10:04 am
I called the other hospital that I had planned to attend and it's been 2 weeks and I was told that they are in the middle of RESTRUCTURING and this could take a while!!! Well blow me down.... I wish they'd have told me that prior... I got so disgusted and depressed I started looking on the site 4 someone else cause I don't mind waiting but you know...... You don't even know how long it will be,, Naw oh hell no  this ain't working. I just left one hospital waited 2 weeks for my call back and now this... ~Keep on trucking-trucking-trucking till your money is gone...~ so I recalled one of my chat roomies told me about Kettering so I called and explained the situation and i now have an actual DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.  Damn I'm goooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have to get my stuff faxed over there.... Pray that this goes well cause I'm getting so exhausted.......

I still have no call yet from the hospital. I am soooo tired and weary from everything i've done today, I am going to plop down and take a nap...I guess eventually they'll remember I need surgery too.

Still waiting for the hospital to call me....
on July 29, 2008 11:51 am
I just arrived home 30 minutes ago, I upon walking up the the door realized I left my air conditioner on , darn i am gonna have the biggest electric bill. I went to physical therapy today and still have not gotten the call from the hospital yet. I know I called yeasterday and they said they are just starting to get to the people from the seminar but Ughhh the waiting is sooo hard ( this second time around). Oh well nothing I can do except wait it out.. Anyhow I am going to message a few of my new webbie friends and see how their day is as there is nothing really good on the chatroom now. Don't get me wrong I love my "chatroom family" but it's like T.V. if it ain't good why hang around? going to probably take a small nap and get started finishing redecorating my little girl's room 
                                Love and kisses

My Story

Hello, My name is Lap lady 22 for the sake of privacy :-). I am new on here and found this site by accident, going online tonight to try to talk to some people hopefully. I after 2 years have made the decision to have surgery. My story may be kinda weird because well I might not fall into the normal catagory of how i got to be overweight. See I don't eat alot of junk food don't drink soda I a few years ago used to be a Coca Cola addict but I stopped when I learned how soda bloats and increses your weight. I sed to power 10 miles a day 2Xs a day but I have severe injuries and had to stop. I suffered a violent and abusive marriage and now am divorced and somewhere a little prior to my marriage I noted I was starting to gain weight and I hold my weight very well but after I got married and had a child  i gained some weight and during my very long divorce I somehow gained even more, to where I am am large and shapely but I am NOT happy or comfortable and I want I can lose weight but it doesn't stay pff and for every pond io lose I gain 2. Sad. I eat very little. I recently went through 3/4 's of a surgery lose program at the Cleveland Clinic and things have not gone well with their psychologist and I don't click with her it's like she is probaing for something that isn't there. I currently see a therapist for the abuse I suffered and he is behind my having this surgery and so is my family doctor but I am NOT comfortable with this lady and she is saying now that I did stuff with her staff that i didn't do and I have followed the program changed my eating habits learned to CHEW CHEW CHEW well and done their online stuff read tons of stuff prior to coming there so i would be well informed but I believe that my questions because i have alot of them and standing up for myself bother her. I don't know I will NOT give up I am going to try another hospital next well have a appointment with them and hopefully this well go better my doctor's office say that they have had good reports about st. Vincent's hospital as far people being treated like a person and being caring towards their patients and respecting them. I'll see.
