Surgeon Testimonial

Bruce Long, M.D.
My first impression of Dr long was that he was a good dr. He was good for the surgery but didnt want to deal with someone with as many problems as i had. Told my family at a time when my potassium was critically low and messing with my heart that he would \"BABYSIT\" me in the hospital. I went to a different ER to stay away from his was admitted and given IV potassium for 5 days. DO NOT CARE FOR HIM AT ALL>>> however, I love love love the Nurse Practioner Jimmi- she is wonderful. She has the nicest personality and is very caring-she is continuing my care.

new life
on September 28, 2011 10:29 am
just realized I havent been on here in like a year and a half.. A ton has changed in my life.. I hit goal, went well below, then gained back to my comfortable 155. a size 10.

I am no longer married, been seperated for 10 months or more, waiting on divorce.. I have a wonderful man by my side, Josh, I fell in love with him right away and he is my superman. I will post some pics... Me and him and my girls live a simple, but good and happy life... I love it.
