Surgeon Testimonial

Brian Lane, M.D., F.AC.S.
When I went in to meet Dr. Lane and his assistant Physician Amy I was very pleased his office staff was nice and treated me like a person not a blob. All the seats were wide enough to fit me with no emabarrasing chair sticking incodents. You all know what I am saying. When I finally met Dr. Lane I was very pleased at the amount of knowledge he knew. I was amazed by how long he has done the surgery and how successful he was. I was even more impressed when he told me that he doesn't accept every joe off the street. You have to go through extensive testing and analysis before Dr. Lane and Amy will see you again in there office. They will refuse to do a surgery that they feel will put you at greater risk later on. I would strongly recommend him to anyone. When I went and did my research on him the only negative comment I could find was that his bed side manner could be better however that was one person out of thousands. Maybe she cought him on a bad day. All in all DR. LANE is the MAN!!

BABY TIME :)
I am now over one year out and doing very well. I had a web meeting with my PA and we discussed the possiblities of me having another child. She said that Chris and I could start trying now. She said that I am at a good point in my weight loss that if I wanted to we could try. 

I am scared and excited about this. I kept telling people that I don't want another child because I don't want to gain the weight back that I have lost. It scares me very much so. My PA said that it was okay and that I should be fine. She said she would be with me through out the entire pregnancy. I am going to call my OBGYN and see if I can meet with him and go over the pg stuff. 

It took us so long last time to get pregnat that I don't think I will beable to get pg fast. I may have to go on medication and so forth. We shall see how everything goes and I will keep everyone updated. 

I also talked to my PA about heading up a support group in Toledo. She is very excited about it. '

I will try to keep everyone updated. 

Mel
