Surgeon Testimonial

Nauveed Iqbal, M.D.
What can I say about Dr. Iqbal. He is the best. From the moment I went to his office for a consultation I knew he had to be my surgeon. He never rushed any of my questions and he's always explained things in terms us \"normal\" people understand. He's always there with a smile or a joke. His staff is incredible. They've never made me feel like I'm bothering them when I call. He does insist that this surgery relies on teamwork and he vocally insists on you keeping your end of the bargain. He never balked when I asked about risks or mortalities or anything. He's very honest about the whole process. When someone asks about my surgery, I pull out his business card and start rambling. He's the best!

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I wasn't a huge, constant eater. I was more of the skip breakfast, skip lunch and huge dinner type. I couldn't understand why I kept gaining. Food and I have always had a love/hate relationship.

    Cindi, You have been an inspiration to all of the Maysters. I think that by your posts that you've shared, you have one of the most hectic schedules of us all. I'm glad everything worked out for you. I know this is late, but it does not mean that I did not have you in my thoughts and prayers. Have a great recovery and let the melting begin. John

1st Support Group Meeting!
on December 28, 2006 7:26 am
I went to my first support group meeting last night.  I hate driving alone (boring!) and going someplace you've never been just makes it worse.  After driving an hour and 40+ miles I finally arrived.  I got to meet my new friend Lisa (aka Mona26865),  Lisa, thank you for being so informative and such a cheerleader for me!  My insurance only requires one support group meeting, but I'm hoping it'll be part of my monthly schedule.  At least it gets me out of the house for a few hours a month. ;)

I see the nutritionist next week!  Woohoo!  Finally some progress. ;)

It's been a while since I posted.  I met with the psych on 12/14.  It's a 40 minute drive to his office.  I waited in the waiting room about 5 minutes, filled out paperwork for about 3 minutes, went back and talked to the doctor a whopping 3 minutes.  All that for 3 minutes to tell me I'm "competent".  I laughed the whole drive home.  My husband got the reminder on his Blackberry and one minute later I buzzed with "I'm done!". lol  

My next appt is on 1/3 with the Nutritionist.  I can't wait!  I had hoped to be further along in the process by now so that part is a bit frustrating.  Hopefully the new year will find me with an approval and a date.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and a VERY healthy and Happy New Year to everyone!
