Surgeon Testimonial

John L. Coon (COE)
I first saw Doctor Coon over one year ago. I totally fell in love with his office staff and thought that he was also a very nice and caring man. He answered all of my questions and I never felt rushed. I wasn't able to fit the surgery into my schedule then due to school, but one year later it all worked out. When I called the office again, they were just as nice and helped me get everything completed along with approval in a very short period of time. I have since had my surgery and have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Coon as well as everyone in his office. I also like the way his office has a very homey feel to it and doesn't look like a traditional doctors office. I highly recommend Doctor Coon and his staff!! :)

    I am thrilled for you! What a lifesaving, life-altering and brave thing you have done! I know you are going to hurt for awhile after surgery but it will be worth it! I know what dedication it takes to even decide on which type of surgery to have and then making the commitment to have it actually done. Hang in there and best to you always.

Today is ten months since I had surgery.  Where has the time gone to??  So many things have changed for me.  My life is completely different than it was.  I think I will list just a few things that come to mind:

1.   I no longer feel fat when meeting someone for the first time
2.   My self confidence is much higher
3.   I can buy clothes off of any rack at the store
4.   I don't think about eating most of the time
5.   I have more energy
6.   I have an amazing job
7.   I can jog (I just don't do it enough)
8.   Walking on the treadmill is now easy
9.   I like what I see in the mirror (most of the time)
10. I love shopping for clothes
11. My hair color (I wanted to go totally blonde but my stylist gave me a heavier weave. I'm not happy with it so I'm going to talk to someone tomorrow about doing the rest. I'm finally brave enough to try blonde)

So many other things have happened, but it is hard to list them all.  I have absolutely no regrets, except that I didn't do it soon.  I was afraid of different changes that might occur and honestly, none of them have happened.  It has just been one amazing journey!!  I can't say everything is easy.  Sometimes the head hunger can be strong.  I hate when that happens.  I deal with it pretty good now and every once in awhile I will give in to it and eat something.  I have just learned to try and pick something that isn't too bad for me when that happens.  

I hope everyone is doing well!  :)
