"
Dr.Butler will NOT be doing my surgery He is retiring .2004
I will be seeing Dr.Robert Thomas from Bond Clinic in Winter Haven FL
8/9/04 I saw Dr.Thoams today again after the fight for 2 1/2 yrs to get WLS.I was glade to see him,When he first came in th eroom I said well Doc,I finely made it after 2 1/2 yrs and he said yes you did.So lets get this puppy on the road.YAAAAAAAAAA
I really like Dr.Thomas and his staff.They all where really nice and helpfuly.
Dr.Thomas even explained to me in deatail why it was safer for me to have open surgery instead of Lap,Because I have had so many surgies in the tummy area.
Dr.Thomas just makes me feel very comfotable with him.
Dr.Thomas is a 100% in my book.
geshhhhhhhhhhh another update
Less then 24 hrs before surgery WInter Haven Hospital called and cancled my surgery.,Said they werent getting enough money for my surgery.
I spent 2 days on the phone looking for another Dr and Hospital,I found a Hospital and a Dr,
The Dr.is Dr.Eric Thoburn in Gainesville FL a 3 hr drive from my home.I have found only good reports on Dr.Thoburn.and now my surgery is schuled for Nov 15,2004 at 3:30 pm at North Fl Reginal Medical Center in Gainsville FL.
Dr.Thoburn is the best and he really cares about you and how you are feeling,I would pick him again in a heartbeat if I had to redo this surgery."
"Make sure you have a family memeber stay with you,it helps a lot.I payed the $50.00 extra a night so my husband could stay in the private room with me,and I would do it again if I had to."
