Village Associates, Fayetteville

WOW!! I am so impressed with everything this practice does. Let me first say how impressed I am with Dr. Classen. I met him for my first appointment this week and have to say that he made a wonderful first impressio. The education seminar that Dr. Classen and Dr. Davidson hold is outstanding!! It is so informative about the A-Z's of this surgery. They explain everything from the procedure, benefits of surgery, complications of surgery, insurance, cost and what to expect post op. At the end they hold an open forum for the patients to ask whatever question you want. I have worked with doctors in the past and never knew any that would stand up in front of a group of patients. They are so knowledgeable about obesity and the surgery. I recommend this practice 100%. Donna the baratric coordinator, is so helpful. She knows how you feel as she is also a former gastric by pass patient. Well all my information was faxed to Tricare yesterday. Say a prayer it all gests approved!! Lori

I glad you felt the same way. They are a wonderful group. It shouldn't be long now. Good Luck. I'm down 100lbs by the way and mine was in Oct. so get ready for a roller coaster ride. The funny thing is I feel great but I don't really look think I look lighter and know its crazy but you'll understand soon enough. Tabitha

It is very important to feel confident in your surgeon & having an office staff that is great to work with is a bonus!! Oh, congratulations!!

OMG!!! How funny!!! I don't need a picture, I have a mental one that is perfect. Isn't it nice to finally be able to laugh about ourselves?? Now, on to the nude beach thing.....why NOT go? I've gone to a female spa on several occasions (totally naked most of the time)...yes, I know...different than a nude beach. Trust me, hon, our well padded bodies look MUCH better than those skeletons with skin pulled over them. I've seen several women who's clothed bodies made me green with envy. However, once they were naked I had to fight the urge to beg them to put their clothes back on....it was N A S T Y. Yeah, I know....as our fat disappears we'll have the sagging skin, but oh well.....if ya don't wanna look at it, then turn your eyes away...if you wanna keep staring, then I'll be more than happy to bring attention to you....yep, I be rotten. Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it.... Beth
