"I had a private room. The nurses and assistants took very good care of me. They made sure I had my medication and started my breathing exercises and my diabetic meal when I needed them."
"Well, I called at the end of August, 2002 and I was enrolled in the Baylor Weight Loss Seminar for 12/12/02. It was worth the wait! What a fantastic program that Baylor has for WLS! I can't say anything but good things about the Doctors and their staff at Baylor!
My husband was against me having the WLS until he went with me to the seminar and he heard Doctors' McCarty and Kuhn, Arnold and Nicholson speak. He saw the slides presented and heard the stories of people who have had the WLS. After attending he was all for me having the surgery! What a difference a seminar makes!
Baylor has perfected the Lap Procedure. It seems to minimize complications. My husband was do impressed with the Docs! Might I add, so was I!
Their aftercare program sounds wonderful! They have a mail group you can plug into after you have attended the first seminar. I have received so much information from this mail group.
I am not sure if Doctor McCarty will be my surgeron, but it really doesn't matter to me. I trust the Doctors, they have all been trained very well. Doctor McCarty is the head of the WLS program at Baylor and he is wonderful! He seems to be suited for this position. All the Doctors seem very concerned for us and want to help give us a longer, happier and healthy life. But they tell us it's not a picknick! It is a lifestyle change. I am ready Doctors, is tomorrow soon enough?
5/5/03 Was the big consult day with Dr. McCarty. My husband and daughter were with me. Dr. McCarty was very nice and interested in any questions or concerns that me and my family might have about the surgery and aftercare. My daughter is still not wanting me to have the surgery, but she seemed bery impressed and assured by Dr. McCarty that he will do his best to take care of her mother."
"She was wonderful! I took this 500 plus question test. I couldn' believe how accurate it was at explaining my situation! Dr. Chadwell was very professional and caring. We talked about the test results. She explained to me how things will change while losing weight and what to expect. She suggests that I seek counseling before and during the weight loss to help deadl with my new exercise eating habits. She was very good. I would recommend her to everyone!"
"Dr. Yeh was wonderful. She was very supportive in my decision to have WLS. She wrote a letter that I can use for my surgeon and the insurance company. Which states she concures that my health conditions would be minimized by having this surgery."
