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

Relief~I wasn't forgotten
on April 28, 2008 7:04 pm
Well, today I got up the nerve to email Fuzz's nurse, Susan; to ask about my blood work results~negative wooo hoooo. Then I asked about my paperwork; she said (like I had been telling myself) that since I was wanting a July date she had been working on some others that were wanting a earlier date but she would call or email me when she sends in my paperwork for approval. Then I mentioned I was looking at July 28th. She responded: "How about the 21st? Fuzz w/b out of town the week or latter part of the week of the 28th & he don't like to do any surgeries right before he goes outta town~that's good to know; hate to think he'd do his thing to me & then go outta town & something go wrong & no dr to make it all better. So I got it ok'd by my supe to have that week off as my first week (a coworker is off that week too) surprisingly, she approved it.....yippppeeee. So unless something goes wrong & I get denied (which I don't think will happen) by insurance then I reckon my date w/b July 21st. Can't wait. Well, enough ramblin'~thanks for stopping by & checking on me. Hugs to all.....

Sweet man

Hey everybody. Had my visit with the surgeon today~"Fuzz". He is a great guy. Very smart and he made me feel at ease. He told me I had been given the thumbs up by the Nut & the Psych. He had some blood drawn today to check for something in my blood stream to see about ulcers. He said I was like alot of his patients & that he really feels like I'll do fine with the surgery. Now Susan w/b sending in my paperwork for approval~pray for me, I don't think I'll have a problem being approved but scared to get my hopes up. Once I get my approval (trying to be positive); I'll get to schedule my surgery. Hope the approval process doesn't take long~patience isn't one of my strong points.

Thanks for stopping by & checking on me. Take care
