Surgeon Testimonial

Timothy Custer, M.D.
When I went for my first consultation, I wasn't sure what I thought of Dr. Custer. He seemed nice but I try not to make decisions on first impressions until I've gotten to known someone a little better. By the end of my hospital stay I now know he has a great bedside manner and is a skilled and caring surgeon.

I had my surgery out of the Barix Center in Columbus, OH and the majority of the staff I dealt with there was great.

I have already told a couple of people of Dr. Custer and I will continue to do so! I feel that he truly cares about the well being of his patients and wants to see us succeed in our new lives!

I am so glad that not only is he a successful surgeon but he has a great bedside manner! He even made room for me at his second office at the last minute so he could remove my drain because my discharge nurse mis-scheduled my appointment and he wanted to get it out on time!!

Very glad I chose him for my partner in this journey!!!

I could ride the coasters!!
I am so happy!! We went to Kings Island yesterday and for the first time in years, I was able to ride ANY ride I wanted!! 

The last time I went to an amusement park, I was so embarassed to not be able to buckle the seat belt for the first coaster we went on!! I didn't even try to ride any others for the rest of the day!! It made the friend that I had gone with angry and he made me feel like we had wasted a day going even though he still went on rides with my daughter.  I was so miserable!!

Yesterday, even though I didn't ride a huge amount of rides, I could have!!  And, thankfully, my hubby didn't get angry because I didn't ride them all!!  Plus, I wasn't ashamed to put on my swinsuit and go to the waterpark!  And that was a blast too!

I know I still have a way to go and that, at 228#, I am not by any means skinny yet but I felt happy and better than I have in years!!  It is amazing what a 16% loss in excess weight can do for you!

Look at all of the exclamation points!!  I am so excited!  LOL!!!!!!!
