Stephan Myers, M.D. From the start I could tell he was someone who really cared about his patients. He made a point to introduce himself to everyone in the room before the seminar started. He walked around and offered us water bottles. During my appointment with him I felt that he was very thorough and interested in the specifics of my health situation.
The before and aftercare programs seem very comprehensive. I don't think I've heard of any others that are this well rounded.
We talked about the risks and he wanted to work with my rheumatologist to address issues related to my RA and how the WLS would impact things.
Overall, I'm going into this rating him as a 10!
................................................
Post Op 5 days - he still gets a 10!
...............................................
3 months post op - still happy with him! And so is my PCP. Today she said he is the ONLY bariatric surgeon in her experience who sends follow up letters to keep the PCP informed. She was very impressed with my success and the program. She's been referring people to Fresh Start and Dr. Myers!
Oh you must be so
excited, maybe a
little frightened,
but more excited.
Don't forget a ball
cap or pony tail
holder for when you
don't want do
anything with your
hair. Take books to
read if you don't
have company,
everytime I watch TV
at Riverside they
showed Wendy's
commericals and I
wanted the FOOD.
Have the nurses show
you where the pop
cyclies (misspelled)
are kept, I didn't
like hardly anything
on the tray they
delievered me for
four days. It was
more mental than
physical hunger, but
I HAD IT BAD. The
only day I regretted
my decision was
about seven days
after the surgery
and I was really
sore and I asked
myself - WHY, what
have you done. Now
I know what I have
done. I have done
the smartest thing
for my self, taken
back control of my
life. I can't wait
to see you at group
on Feb 16.
Good luck, may God
guide Dr. Meyers
hands tomorrow.
