Surgeon Testimonial

Dirk Rodriguez, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Rodriquez is that he is a very caring person about his patients. It got better I like him more just for talking to him and meeting with hime. His staff is very nice and percise they believe in doing there job and not lingering on, they didnt even make me wait on my paperwork they usually make u pay and then send u info or even talk not there office they sent me everything I needed and I didnt even half to pay untill I got to the hospital. They that are very caring about there patients and I would recommend him and staff to everyone. He emphasize alot on aftercare for his patients to make sure they are doing what they are suppose to do. He also emphasizes on exercise (dont get alarmed arthritis patients), I have arthritis and they showed me ways to exercise to. He lets u know that there are rish but he also lets u know what the risk would be if I didnt have surgery. I rate him a 10+++++++. I know that he seems very surgical competent but I will let u know about the bedside manner.

Hello family I know that it has been a long time just about a year since I have updated. Well alot has gone in a year I am now in a wonderful relationship that is actually about to be a year in febuary I know it was because of my weight that  I was unable to stay happy in a relationship because of my weight and not being able to do as I wanted and please because of my weight and it became a straing on alot of the relationships that I was in but it was also a learning experience because I had to go through what I had to go through in order to appreciate the one that I have right now. Enough of all that mushy stuff I also went under another plastic surgery procedure in which I was bacincally going in for a thigh plasty but because I had well still have a lot of hanging skin I did have a lot of bulky fatty tissue so I ended up having lipo suction for the first phase in which they took off 25 pouds but I will say this. That was the most painful surgey I have had and I have had a lot I had a breast lift, my pannis removed which means the lower half of stomach in which they took off 45 lbs of fat then by it self, my gallbladder removed and two children by csection but that darn lipo is not joke and I ended up with an infection on my right thigh that they said was cellulitus but I truly beliebve that it was something else but it is all better now and I am ready for phase two but I have to go all back through the crazy paperwork because I have medicare. I also want to weight until I get to my goal of 200 lbs anyway before I have the last surgery done becaude I now it is still gonna hang more but I want less as possible.
I havent been on in so long it just seems as if I have so much to say but I dont want to bore anyone so I think I am gonna say good night well goodmorning it is 3 am and I cant sleep but anyway God Bless and keep me in yall's prayers as well as I will keep yall in mind...................
