Surgeon Testimonial

Oliver Whipple
My first impression of Dr. Whipple was that he was a very nice looking doctor, but also very professional and caring. He seemed to know exactly what surgery would be best for me right away. He is a very busy doctor and doesn't spend much time visiting with you, which is ok as long as he answers all your questions (which he did).

The staff of Memorial Bariatric Center was great! No problems and very helpful. The only little problem we had was with insurance, payment person, she really didn't understand how our insurance and suplimental insurance all worked together and tried to get us to pay some up front and we are 100% covered. That was not a huge deal though because we paid a little and that covered the deductible which we would have had to pay anyway.

Memorial Bariatric Clinic has a patient portal but it is not really that beneficial becuase it is not updated that frequently.

All in all the experience was good. I felt like I was well cared for and was very happy with Dr. Whipple and his staff.

October 12, 2010

I guess it has been a little while since I have blogged but time seems to be flying by lately. I am down to a loose size 14 and loving every minute of it. The only thing that bothers me is I want to shop!!! I want to buy all kinds of clothes but I am almost afraid to because my size is changing so quickly. I have bought a few pieces to keep me from being naked but I am about to go crazy!!

I spend alot of time on the net looking and picking out clothes that I like, of course I never buy what I pick out becase money is tight and I don't know where I will end up. I call this therapy. My husband says it is totally fine as long as the credit card never comes out... hahahahah

I am really noticing a difference in my appearance now and so is EVERYONE else. There was someone the other day that didn't even recognize me. Talk about a real boost. I can see that look those people who haven't seen me in a while ...kinda like, is she ok, should I ask? Sometimes it is a little uncomfortable but I usually know what is happening and open the door for them to ask me. If I am asked I do usually tell folks that I have had surgery. I don't really care who knows. I don't feel like a failure because I had the surgery, believe me it is not the easy way out.

Oh, I totally got checked out yesterday morning. I didn't really know how to react because it has been so long since I have been stared at. It was kinda funny really, I caught him staring and then everytime I looked that way he would turn his head like he wasn't checking me out. It actually made me feel good about myself. I am wearing my makeup and fixing my hair and feeling good.
