Seeing Dr. Saaback on 1/14/05

I am finally going to see the doctor on 1/14/05 to discuss having surgery. I can't wait. I'm nervous but I know I have to do this.

Wendy, I wish you well. This was the best thing I ever did for myself. There were times that I wish I had never done it, but believe you me it was worth it.

Hey Wendy, Dont be scared i go back on the 13 of Jan to see Dr.Sabback for my second consult where he turns in all my paper work to my insurance... He is great, explains everything so you can understand it ...good luck if you need someone to talk too email me!!!!!! Debbie

Dr Sabback is awesome...if you want to ask any questions...I would be happy to try and answer or help. He did my surgery on Aug 3 2004 and as of Jan 3 I am 100 pounds less, and I am an amputee in a wheelchair, so I couldnt walk for exercise. He's a great doctor and has been doing the surgery for 27 years and perfects it as he goes along using the latest technology. Niecy

Hi, Everbody! I saw Dr. Sabback this week, too. He's very blunt, but I like that about him, too. Plus, my surgery (if approved) will be revision surgery from a VBG in 1988. I'm almost back to the weight that I started when I had the first surgery. I am terrified, but feel like a walking time bomb now. Well, a slow-ticking one because carrying all of this weight drains me!! I just KNOW that if I have this revision, I will definitely take care of myself this time. Something about turning 40 this year.....Has anyone out there that's been to Dr. Sabback had revision surgery? He said that he does about 1 a month. With all of the additional risks involved, I need to hear something positive!!! Thanks and good luck to all!!!
