Surgeon Testimonial

Noel Williams, M.D.
Consult - rnHad my surgical consult on August 22nd. My experience with the Nurse Practitioner, Nutritionist as well as Dr Williams, was very nice. Everyone could not have been more attentive and genuine. I look forward to working with Dr. Williams and his staff during my WLS journey. rnrnHUP has a very structured pre & post surgical support system in place. rnrnI would like to have spent a little more time with Dr Williams, but he did answer all my questions and explain the surgery completely.rnrnThese are my personal opinions and first impressions.rnrnSurgery - rnrnSaw Dr Williams a few weeks before my surgery in passing at the hospital and we spoke a for a minute. Otherwise I would not have seen him again until I was just about to go into the operating room. I think this is pretty standard procedure for all surgeons. He was very warm and comforting to me as we spoke prior to surgery. I felt very confident. The anethesiologist spent ALOT of time with me just prior to surgery answering every question I had and making sure I felt comfortable with everything that was going to happen. I really appreciated that. Dr. Williams came to see me the next day and spent a few minutes as he was making his rounds. I feel my surgery couldn't have gone any better. rnrnI would highly recommend him as a surgeon.

6 months
posted on 11/21/08 9:54 am
Well here I am 6 months since my surgery. I thought I would have lost more than I have -  but the good part is I have consistantly lost or maintained over the past 6 months. As od today I am 29.5 lbs down since surgery and 52.5 since my first appt with the surgeon. I have lost about 1.25 lbs a week on average since surgery.

I had a hard time a few weeks ago. I believe it was a bought with GERD again - I couldn't keep anything down over the a weekend so on Monday 11/3 I had a complete unfill. I thought I had 4ccs in my band but when they took the fluid out they only got 3ccs. I just had a 2.5 cc fill this past Monday and I have been soooo careful all week. Liquids up until yesterday and started mushies, so should be good to go very carefully by Monday or Tuesday with solids. Just in time for Thanksgiving.

I am afraid that I haven't gotten my band tight enough yet, maybe I am kind of afraid. I also choose easy foods sometimes that may not be good for me but go down easier. I am afraid of what it will feel like to tight.

I am going to be more focused on eating the right way and getting my fills and hopefully these next six months will be more successful. I am also going to try to excercise. NO promises but try for 15 minutes a day.

I think I need to be back on these boards to be more successful as well. I hope that the combination will prove a better formula for weightloss.
