I said I would check back next week, but I was so excited to find out I have a friend, I just had to come back on to give a shout out to Candy! Thanks, Candy!
Surgeon Testimonial Alexander Nagle, MD Dr. Nagle is the cream of the crop. I'm so glad he was my surgeon. I felt like I got the best possible care I could have ever hoped for from him. My first impression was "now this is the dude I want to operate on me". I had total and utmost trust in him. I had heard good things about him before I met him in person, and he did not disappoint. Even the morning of surgery when I was extremely calm about the whole thing and my family commented on it, all I could tell them was I was confident in my decision to have Dr. Nagle perform the procedure...no second thoughts about it. Dr. Nagle's office staff is friendly and extremely efficient. I was treated like a queen (and rightfully so!) The fact that Dr. Nagle works closely with the Wellness Institute for pre and post op care is very important to me. There is a support group that meets monthly at Northwestern and is key to the sucess of their program. In a nutshell: if you live in the Chicagoland area do not walk - run - to Dr. Nagle!

on July 5, 2007 6:48 pm Getting ready to start this wacky wonderful journey. I have my consultation appointment with my surgeon on July 18, 2007, 2 days after my 57th birthday. I cannot wait! I've been doing some research on this dude and by all accounts he is top notch. So far I've heard nothing but positive things about him, so I find that very comforting. Today I received a questionnaire in the mail from his office and I've spent the last hour or so filling it out. I hate questionnaires - sometimes they make me feel so darn stupid. Do I answer 0 or 1? 2 or 3? Why don't they give you the option of 2.5? What if you're not a true 2 or 3, but fall somewhere in between? It could happen! I'm afraid of answering the question wrong and turning into a reject! "Sorry, Pat, you answered 3 to question #750. We were actually looking for 2. So close, yet so far. Better luck next time". Kind of weird, I know, but as you'll find out, that's me! I guess there really isn't a right or wrong answer, it is what it is. Right?
Be the first to leave a comment.Next week I have my first pre-surgery class at the Wellness Institute in Chicago and I'm really looking forward to that also. It's a one-on-one session with a nutritionist and from what I understand, there will be 3 more sessions in a group situation. I'm really wondering what the others in my group will be like. Time will tell. My final class is September 28 and my hope is that my surgery can take place in October. Not sure that is realistic or not. There's so much to do, it kind of makes my head spin at times. I'll probably check in with you after my appointment next week and let you know how it went. |
