Surgeon Testimonial

Patrick Coates, M.D.
I met Dr. Coates at the Gastric Bypass seminar and though that he was very informative and knew his stuff. I didn't see him after, but I know he was the one who did my surgery because he talked to my husband after. lol! I wish I would of been able to talk to him more, but I know he is excellent at what he does and I felt very confident that I was in good hands. The one thing my husband can say about Dr. Coates is that he has the softest hands he has ever felt! lol! In all seriousness Dr. Coates did answer all my questions during the seminar and has done very well with other people that I know that have had the procedure. Dr. Coates makes sure to emphasize the importance of after care and risks. This doctor knows his numbers and can tell you anything you need to know about having Gastric Bypass and what to expect. I say that he is an excellent Doctor, but almost like the Wizard of Oz..no one sees him, but all in all he's a great Doctor. His practitioners and staff are great and take very good care of you. Memorial hospital is awesome as well.

Headache Update
posted on 12/31/10 9:03 pm
The ENT said that the cyst wasn't even a problem and that it looked like it had resolved itself. There was no infection, so that was good and there would be no need for surgery!  YAY! But I was given some advice to try TOPOMAX to help with my headaches. Hopefully, I can get a script this Monday when I go see the doctor. I will conquer these headaches! I would love to be able to get back to working out and tighten up these legs and tummy! I have so much motivation and energy when I have no headaches. I could sooooo kick some butt when I get started.
