Surgeon Testimonial

Michael L. Hughes, M.D.
THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM WAS AT THE LAPBAND SEMINAR IN DECEMBER. HE HAD SUCH A GREAT MANNER ABOUT HIM AND WAS OPEN TO ALL QUESTIONS. HE DID NOT BEAT AROUND THE BUSH HE TOLD ME/US WHAT EXACTLY TO EXPECT, WHAT TO DO AND CERTAINLY WHAT NOT TO DO.
I HAVE NOT HAD MY SURGERY YET AND I AM SURE I WILL HAVE PICKED A STELLAR SURGEON. THIS ALSO IS MY VERY VERY FIRST SURGERY OF ANY KIND AND IM PLACING MY LIFE IN HIS HANDS. IM EXCITED AND ANXIOUS TO BEGIN MY NEW LIFE!

My Story

MY NAME IS SHELLY AND I LIVE IN ANDERSON SC.  I AM 34 AND I AM HOPING AND PRAYING I GET APPROVAL FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR SURGERY. I SEE MY DR ON FRIDAY JAN 5 IN SENECA, AT PALMETTO SURGERY ASSOCIATES AND IM VERY EXCITED! I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT MY ENTIRE LIFE AND AM FINALLY READY FOR A CHANGE. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME IN 2004 AND HAVE BEEN ON VARIOUS MEDS SINCE. THEN W. PCOS. I STARTED DIETING AND THE GYM IN 2006 AND HAVE LOST @55 POUNDS. THEN ADDED 7 BACK DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

 I AM NEW TO THE BOARDS AND THE SITE AND HOPE TO LEARN LOTS FROM MY FELLOW PEERS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
