Surgeon Testimonial

Joshua Roller M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Roller was a picture of complete confidence in his wisdom and his ability to perform any of the surgeries. I loved his bedside manner. He listened to my concerns, gave me info the read, left the room and let ME make the decision on my own as far as which surgery I would choose. I appreciated that. The staff has been amazing. They treated me with respect and were always responsive in answering any of my questions. If they didn't know the answer they would find it our and call me back. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about Dr. Roller or his staff. Their clinic is in Springdale, AR which is about an hour and a half from where I live. But, it was so worth it. They definitely emphasize after care, support groups, follow up visits with your doctor and staff and the nutritionists. They have a specific support group but since I work full time and I'm so far away I probably won't make it to that but boy do I find a lot of encouragement on this website. Actually while I was in the lab waiting room to have blood work done pre-op, a woman having the same surgery as me told me about this website that had helped her so much in making her decision. I'm so glad I talked with her. I have to say that Dr. Roller's surgical competence and his bedside manner are excellent and I don't believe I could have found anyone better. We discussed my past surgeries and possible scar tissue that could make the lapriscopic surgery take a little longer. But, Dr. Roller looked me in the eye and said, IF I can't do it, no one can. At that moment I felt totally at ease and felt confident that I was in the best hands I could be.

Life Constantly Changes!!!
posted on 10/1/10 7:32 am
My life just constantly changes now-a-days it seems.  I am getting ready to move AGAIN!!!!  But at least one major thing I have noticed is that in spite of the stress in my life right now I AM NOT TURNING TO FOOD as I have in the past.  Food was always my comforter.  Thank God for this tool of VSG that gave me the power to retrain the way I think and feel about food!  I will be forever grateful that I was able to have this surgery done. I want to encourage as many others as I can along the way to do what's best for them and be the healthiest you can be.  We only go around once in this thing called life!  Enjoy it to the fullest and make healthy choices! 
I am looking forward as my life goes through these changes I am currently facing and hoping that my life just continues to become richer, fuller and better!
