Surgeon Testimonial Matthew D. Davidson, M.D First impression of Dr. Davidson was a favorable one. He was down to earth taking the time to explain what to expect prior, during and after the surgery. He clearly explained all risks and communicated percentages for his practice versus that of national average. The surgery itself was clearly explained and all questions answered. His presence was known throughout the hospital stay beginning with pre-op and continuing throughout the hospital stay. There is a structured aftercare plan and monthly support group meetings. Overall, I would highly recommend him. The office staff..well...that is another story. I wouldn't use the term "warm and fuzzy" by any means to describe them. Throughout my dealings with them, I have been continually amazed at their lack of professionalism. They seem to be friendly with one another but the smile stops there. They were not overly pleasant. There were several times that either myself or my husband could not get a return call from them. Additionally, there were times that we were told that paperwork had been submitted only to find out when we called about it, the paperwork was just then being done. (the insurance company verified this suspicion) We tolerated what we perceived as incompetance in them because of our strong confidence in Dr. Davidson and our desire to have him do our sugeries.

Well, we made it through another year of Creation Fest. I must say that it was much easier doing all of that walking this year. We actually walked by choice and not just out of necessity! LOL! The entire week was much more enjoyable with not carting around alot of extra pounds. We had too many wow moments to even begin to list them all. I just shake my head in amazement at all of the changes in our lives. We actually figured out on Saturday night that between Dave and I we have lost me with what I weighed when this journey started. How cool is that?!?!?!? LOL! I think we were both scared to get on the scales when we got home but thankfully we both dropped some weight. Mine is coming off so slow now that I live in constant fear that I will start gaining it back. Somehow even though I am careful with eating, etc...I can't get the thought out of my head that regardless what I do it will come back. I pray not. I guess it is just old insecurities or the fear thereof that keep me paranoid all of the time. I just love being thinner and don't want to ever jeopardize it. While we were at Creation, I was amazed at just how overweight America is. I found myself constantly looking at people....not to be judgemental but more out of sympathy. I think that a lot of us here on OH have to fight the constant urge to not approach people and sing the praises of our success stories. The last thing I ever want to do is make someone with a weight issue feel even worse than I know they already do. Maybe I will just get a t-shirt printed up with before and after pictures and let it do my talking! :) I may have mentioned this in a previous post but I finally made it to the "ideal" bmi category. Woo-hooo!!!!! Thanks to all of you that sent well wishes and prayers for our family. My uncle is still hangiing in here with us and the situation seems to be stabilized for now. Hospice is still coming in and what a godsend they have been. I know everyone is busy with the upcoming holiday and I hope that it is a safe one for all. Happy 4th everyone! 2 Comment(s)
