Surgeon Testimonial

Nauveed Iqbal
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

In-&*$^#@(-surance Companies!
on February 13, 2007 4:42 pm
Well, I FINALLY got in touch with someone at the surgeon's office.  They faxed all the paperwork to my insurance company.  Called them back for an update and OOPS!!!!! no one could find any of my information.  Seems the person handling me quit and her paperwork must have made it to the circular file instead of real files.  Sooooooo, the surgeon's office had to fax everything all over again.  And, now there's a new person handling my paperwork so, yup, we're back at square one!  The lady at the surgeon's office told me she'll call me the minute she hears anything but, if I don't hear from her, call on the 22nd and she'll make sure I know something/anything.

I'm at the point now of wondering whether I should keep plugging along or just accepting that this is gonna be *me*.  Let's see.  I have a quarter on my desk.  Should I just flip it?

Another Weekend Bites the Dust
on February 11, 2007 4:30 pm
Well, I'm still at a standstill with the surgery.  I'm calling the surgeon tomorrow and I wanna know what gives.  Either they're helping me or I'm going to find another surgeon.  I feel like I should be doing *something*.  I'm a stay-home mom for goodness sake.  I CAN go get things accomplished.

Anywho, the hubby's in Orlando at a conference until Wednesday.  So, I'm like bored to death.  I've been a good girl and stayed away from the mountains of Girl Scout cookies in my living room.  I had two Diet Cokes (Caffeine free) and the rest has been water.  I've been really thirsty today.  I'm not sure what gives.

So, another weekend is gone and another week begins.  Hope everyone's week is wonderful.  Good luck Tuesday Dawn!!!!!  You're on your way!!!!
