"My first impression of Dr.Garber, was a good one. I asked him a million and one questions. He answered them all. He also told me if I found that I had any questions I could E-Mail him at any time.(I have several times.)Or I could call his office.
My first appointment was in June. I saw all 7 specialists.A thousand tests later, I had a second appoint with Dr. Garber, on 8/23/02. He told me I was good to go. I should hear from him (his office) in 1-2 weeks. I was 5 1/2 weeks later. I got my tentative date of 11/04/02. (Yippee).
What did I like the least? All the waiting in his office for the first visit. About 2 1/2 hrs worth.
He suggested strongly about support groups. He is 1000% right. It is awsome to know that there are others that are going through or have already been through what I'm going through. Dr. Garber also said this is permenant. AS IN FOREVER. He streesed the possible complications.( scarey) He said It would be like him sitting with me for meals forever. this will be MY new life. He might be "fixing my belly" I still need to work with my head. Exercise is a must. I personally think he's great. I'll add mor when I actually have my sugery. It will be at Huntington Hospital.
