"I never felt right having surgery with Dr Tvetenstrand. So I found a differnet doctor. Dr Cole. He is amazing. I have been very pleased with his staff, with, his office, with his skill level and with the way he interacted with me and with my husband. I had my first visit at the end of Jan, met with the dietian, the Social Worker, the nurse praticianer, and the doctor again. Then sent in any other required test such as blood test and mental heath report. I had everything sent to insurence and was approved in three weeks. I then had my surgery date 2 weeks later. I had surgey April 26, 2006. It last 1 1/2 hours, I was in recovery for about an hour, ICU for a day. I was walking within 4 hours and walking the halls in 12 hours. I then was moved to a regular room and every time they took my vidals I got up and walked so I was walking about every two hours in the hospital. I was home on Saturday. I am doing great. I get my staples and drain out tomorrow. I can barely drink what is required but I am doing it. I walked 1/2 mile today a little at a time. "
