Surgeon Testimonial Robert Bell, M.D. I have met my surgeon a few times now..he has been in attendance at every support group meeting I have been too at Yale which I find impressive. He is cordial and caring, upbeat and positive and has an avid following of patients past and present know fondly as his "cult"...I saw him recently for my pre-op visit and he alleviated my fears and when I left I was ready to go...

My name is Laura and I live in Seymour, Connecticut. My insurance has approved my request for RNY surgery and I received my surgery date of January 16, 2008. I am married with two children, one dog, three cats and a wonderful extended family who is very supportive.

My Story Wow...my story...here is the abridged version. I can remember being fat since about the 4th grade. I remember struggling all my life..there were a few times in my life where I managed to lose 90-100# each time...but keeping that weight off was obviously unsuccessful. I have one beautiful son from my first marriage. He is 9-years old and his name is Noah. My first marriage was very troubled. I was abused both physically and emotionally for many years and stayed because I felt I couldn't do any better. My ex-husband did me the tremendous favor of walking out on me when I was 4-months pregnant with Noah..I filed for divorce 2-days later and have not looked back. When my son turned 3 I met a wonderful man who would become my husband and best friend. With Ron I had my daughter Autumn and we have been married for almost 4-years. He treats my son like his own and I am so very grateful for finding him at the right moment in my life. I have spent my adult life taking care of others and while I don't intend to stop doing that I very much want to take care of me too. I feel this is ultimately the best way to take care of my family - for me to be healthy and happy. Hence my desire to have weight loss surgery. My family is awesome, my friends have been wonderful and I feel I am on the road to success!
