"I have had 9 well now 10 surgery's and this was the worst experience of my life with a hospital and its nursing staff!! I would NEVER recommend them to anyone!!!

"Well I am very excited to get my bypass done. I met Dr T yesterday and very much enjoyed talking with him and his staff. They are all very knowledgeable and made me feel right at home the moment I walked in the door. I have been trying for four years now to get a bypass here in the Springs. Yes, to no avail. My high weight as well as having Celiac Disease has made the local Dr's nervous to do the procedure on me. They have made excuses and put me off for quiet a while now. As well as they did not have much knowledge of having Celiac Disease in a bypass. Dr T has put my worries at ease on this subject. His knowledge, experience and confidence is very appreciated here. He asked me if I had any other questions and I only had one. If he could do my surgery tomorrow (jokingly) I have been waiting for over 4 years now. The only request I did have was to have something ready to calm me down when I do get to the hospital for the procedure. I had my gallbladder removed a little over a year ago (in the Springs and not by Dr T) and the anesthesiologist made a mistake and almost killed me. I still get flash backs in bits and peaces. I am 100% sure for 4 years now I want this surgery but I know I will be more than nervous when I see the OR door coming. Dr T was great at relieving my concerns. rnI am 5'3 and 453 pounds. Yes, a little more than most. I have my nutrition class scheduled for tomorrow and the phone call to the Psychiatrist office to type up the release letter went out yesterday 5 min after I left Dr T's office. The only thing left is a Cardio assessment. I have a few surgeries under my belt and know what that entails and have passed every one I have had with colors. So now the only thing to do is wait for that appointment which I do not have yet. I anticipated all the other releases I would need and all ready had the appointments weeks ago. I brought the paperwork with me yesterday to Dr T's Office. My GP, my Rheumatologist and my Pulmonologist . All the releases filled out with the t's crossed, i's dotted and tests complete. rnrnAnyway, I just wanted to post a little of my thoughts here since not many has been posted lately. I will add more later as things happen. I hope those that read this later will find some comfort on what they will be going through. It is kinda scary but I also know it will change my life as well as extend it. But I am just plumb old excited right now.rnrnKathleenrn"
