Surgeon Testimonial

Joshua Roller M.D.
He was very nice and very competent. The office was like a spa and I felt very at ease there, not like any Dr.'s office I have ever been to. Dr. Roller exhibits the expertise and confidence without arrogance that made me feel good about my decision to go forward with the surgery. He is very adamant that everyone follow up regularly and he keeps in contact with all his patients post operatively. I spoke with one of his post op patients that told me he is very thorough with the pre op risks and consents. He has knowledge and a great bedside manner. I think that Dr. Roller delivers a much needed service to NW Arkansas and he will be very successful here because of the time he takes with his patients and the follow up care is unike any other I have seen. The only negative thing that I had to mention is that he just started and I was worried that he was inexperienced because he is so young but he assured me and my husband that he has the case load to back up his knowledge and he has not only done well over 150 cases in North Carolina where he trained but he has done nearly 50 here since August. I have spoken with many of his patients and they all love him and credit him with giving them their health back. I am sure this is how I will feel in a year.

My name is Wendi and I am married with 2 girls (6 and 11). I am 33 years old and a nurse in NW Arkansas. I have been overweight since I was 15. I wasn't obese until after I had my first daughter in 1996. I couldn't seem to lose the weight and it just became worse when I had my second child in 2001. My brother had the RNY 5 years ago and he is doing GREAT!  I am going to have the RNY in March. I hope to become healthy and be more active in the lives of my children and not dread getting up and going out into the world everyday anymore. I am looking to get a lot of advice and information from people on the boards that have been there. I hope to make lifelong friendships here and am looking forward to the journey.

Well, I finally got my approval letter from the insurance company. I hope to have my RNYGB on 6-9-08. I will have to make sure I get the time off from work since I am the only one at work that can do my job, my boss will be reluctant to let me off without the coverage. I will keep you posted.

I only have 1 month to go on my diet and exercise for insurance. I have lost 9 lbs preop so far and am hoping my packet can be submitted next month so I can have surgery in mid-March.
