"The hospital and staff were wonderful everyone was very helpful and kind. The only downside is that I got almost no sleep that night due to the fact that the helipad for the life flight helicopter was right outside my window. It came and went about 10 times during the night. That was THE ONLY downside."
"I have changed surgeons and as yet have not met Dr. Duncan but have spoken to his staff a couple of times. They where very understanding in my plight and said they would try to get me processed as soon as they could. They did not think that it would take as long because I am already approved. I will get to meet Dr. Duncan on April the 17th during a seminar that he is giving so I will update then.
I was able to get in to an earlier seminar given by Dr. Speights who is a surgeon in Dr. Duncan's practice. I have honestly NEVER been in an office where the people are as nice and caring as the people in Dr. Duncan's office. Everyone from office staff to Med tech's to Dr. Speights herself. They appreciated that my time was as valuable as theirs and made every effort to keep to the schedule that was given to me, and let it be known that is their standard. I have not met Dr. Duncan yet but from what I have heard from Dr. Speights he will go all the way to do whatever needs to be done for you but in return he expects you to be prepared for what is about to happen and has some very definate ideas about how to go about this. I think he is right on, the place of your surgeon is to do the surgery not to lose the weight for you, this surgery is so extreme and you should know what your getting into no questions no suprises! I can only assume that I will love Dr. Duncan, anyone who demands his office to be run the way it is, is a man who respects others and who is understanding of the seriousness of the decision being made in the instance of this surgery."
