Surgeon Testimonial

Michael L. Green, Jr. M.D., FACS
I loved Dr. Green. He literally saved my life! He is in his mid-thirties but I feel he knew his \"stuff\". He is actively involved in the entire process from doing his seminars to answering questions one on one. His office staff is professional and well versed in all aspects of the surgery and after care. As a matter of fact, his two \"right-hand\" girls have had the surgery themselves! I was so worried about having this surgery and researched it for three years. My search led me to Dr. Green because of his success rate and expertise. When you lay your life in someone's hands, you want to be certain you have chosen the best person to do the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    I have seen my surgeon and have been very impressed. Although I went to two seminars prior to my first office appointment, it was nice to meet him up close. He seems to be very informed and I pray I've made the right decision concerning that. I go for my cardiac consult, nutritional consult, and ultrasound next week. We are still waiting for insurance clearance but I am hopeful everything will work out.

Three days out!
posted on 7/20/08 12:25 am
Today is officially Sunday, but the wee hours of the morning! I am up with gas pains and trying to get my body to comply and not rebel against me. My surgery was on Thursday and I guess it was fairly textbook. I had a hard time in recovery with pain and a difficult time with the nurses. I got put on a wing different from the other bariatric patients. I didn't get meds on time and then when they brought them, they'd bring too much to overcompenstae. Then I'd have the nausea and vomiting. Thank the Lord my sweet daughter was with me througout the night. I came home the next evening just to avoid that shift of nurses. I am now trying to get used to my new pouch and not feeling hungry. I can feel the liquids in my stomach and intestines. It is a strange sensation.  It is also hard not to glup. Walking and exercising hasn't been difficult. Actually the walking and standing feels better on my tummy. The little exercises that the physical therapist gave me are very simple and easy to do. I am just impatient to get life back to some sense of normalcy.
