Surgeon Testimonial

Neil E. Hutcher M.D.
I saw a commercial he did for bon Secor the day I had my first appoitment with him. He said it was the first time it was shown, I think that is good luck. He's very reputable, very nice,very knowlegable. I asked him if he plays music in the OR he said yes. He has an ipod . i requested Sweet Home Alabama. we both laughed but i think he'll do it!
I didn't get to meet him till 5 days before the operation , although he conducted the info session (7 months ago). His staff is wonderful. he has a nurse named Jennie, she talks really fast. So you have to tell her to slow down, she will. Hilarie is the paperwork Diva. She is amazing! any thing having to deal with insurence or testing reports. The office staff is also wonderful.

I am the 70 's
on September 1, 2008 2:37 pm
I am a child of the 70’s
I love who I love
I love that I have a voice and that I have a choice ( I did not have that one election, Because of redistricting ) I failed to have a choice in that election, I though I Was in one place but they changed that place and I failed to register It was the only time in my life that I felt I was Not American, I know felons can’t vote. They aive up that right when they are convicted. I’m not a felon. I want my voice heard! I do not want a woman that doesn’t convey my feeling in the White House I am pro choice and pro life ( they Are different issues). I don’t care about the color of your skin as long as you represent me fairly by giving me your agenda with respect and truthfulness I deserve. I am an American!
I love the fact that I’m a child of the 70’s
No discrimination.
I want world peace, a world leader.
I want lower gas prices with out a president that is an oil man, I want justice for every one not just the rich.
I had gastric bypass 14 months ago.

Now you make your choice where do you stand?

My Story

I'm 50 years old and have been fat since I was in 5th grade. The lowest I ever got is 120 in high school. but I've gone thru Weight Watchers three times( greastest loss 45 lbs) and Jenny Craig $2000.00 and 45 lbs. but It all came back.I started thinking about gastric bypass last Nov. 2006. Went to my doctor who gave me a referal. the referal came from Heathnet. I scheduled an appointment. The surgeons office called back the day before the appointment and said they didn't do Bariactric surgery. So I got on the web to check out the tricare surgeons in the area. I found one with a great reputation and call Commonwealth Surgeons.They set me up with a info session. I have to tell you at this point they are 50 miles away from my Home and 80 from my work. They gave me a sheet with all the requirements i needed to dofor Tricare Prime. the first was get an evaluation from the doctors office that happened Jan 22nd. I asked if I needed to make the other appointments. so They said go ahead. I was waiting till I got approval from tricare first. On Feb. 22 I got a letter that I needed the evaluations before they approved. why didnt they say that first. I'm not a stupid woman, if you just tell me what I'm suppose to do it it'll get done. I got very depressed.Never did that before. but the next day I got on the phone and made appoinments. 1 in March and 3 in April. Got a cancellation on one so now have Nutrition and Cardiac under the belt. Now need Pulmenary & Pysc evaluations. Very confusing Pulminary wants film, but cariac didnt do chest x rays because Echo cardio gram came back great . now do I go to pulminary with out or ask my primary physician to do them?
