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.

Still here!!

I am still at the exact same weight as 3 months ago. I am not going to stress about it.. I am learning that the more you stress the more problems you have, so whatever will be...will be and I will be good either way. I have thought about throwing the scales out but then I may really screw up and gain weight and I don't want to do that. So, here I am 9 months out from surgery and loss of 63 pounds. I wanted to reach the 100 lb mark by my 1 year surgiversary but I guess that is not going to happen. I will keep on doing what I am doing because I really can't do anything different and know that if this is it then this is where my body has decided it is supposed to be.
