Surgeon Testimonial

Adolfo Fernandez
My surgeon Adolfo Fernandez best known by his staff & patients as FUZZ is a wonderful man, surgeon, dr, etc. The first time I saw him was at a support group mtg I attended with a friend who had RNY by Fuzz, I thought gosh he looks really young but man he's good looking. Then when he talked & answered questions I realized how intelligent he was & that he really knew his stuff when it came to WLS. He has always been very nice when I've seen him. He came in the "holding" room before my surgery & talked a while to me, my momma, Ma & my bff Becca. Becca took a pic of me & him~gotta figure out how to get it downloaded so you all can see him too. His nurse Elizabeth is one of my favorite ppl that I've dealt with. She is sooooo sweet & just down to earth. Also, Jeff the psychologist & Amber the nutritionist are very good at what they do. The aftercare program they offer & how they make sure you understand what you have to do & need to do to succeed is awesome. They are all there & willing to help at any time. Everyone I've had to deal with~Fuzz, Elizabeth, Amber, Jeff, other hospital staff, EVERYBODY~has been great to me & I truly believe it was b/c of their care & concern for me that made my whole preop, surgery, hospital stay & now post op so easy for me to deal with. I can't say enough how great Fuzz & his staff are. I would recommend & do recommend him to anyone that has asked or may ask about a WLS surgeon

Today I got a voicemail from Susan, she'll be my nurse thru this journey. She's already recd my information packet & someone from the office w/b calling to set up my first appt with the surgeon. She said probably the soonest I could get an appt w/b the end of February~so moving right along. I was soooooo excited to hear her voice, it's really starting.....I can't believe it. I figured I wouldn't hear anything for at least 2-3 wks based on what the packet of info said~it was a great surprise though.
Til next time~Later

Well, took the first step towards surgery. I went last Thurs with a friend to her support group mtg. She had RNY last year & is doing awesome. It was amazing to see & hear some of the others stories, #s lost, & how they were off all meds, etc. Very Inspiring. I came home filled out my paperwork that I had recd about a month ago & mailed it the next day (1/25/08), called my PCP & set up an appt with him to discuss this (I think he'll agree with my decision), that appt is on Feb 5th so I'm looking forward to that.
If you all will pls pray for my father~in~law, he is back in the hospital & had to have his left leg amputated(spelling?). He/We need all the prayers we can get at this time.
Thanks for taking the time to visit.

God Bless You All.
