Hi Susan, I was a patient of Dr. Nease's out here in CA before he moved back east. Let me tell you, you can't find a better doctor to perform your surgery then him. His knowledge, his experience and his heart cannot be compared to anyone. I promise you, if you choose him as your doctor, you will absolutely not be sorry. He is the best and there are well over 100 of us out here in California who all feel the same way. I am coming up on my year anniversary since surgery (May 11th). I weighed 410 pounds on the day of my surgery and I've so far lost 160 pounds and counting. I never had a single complication. Was back at work in 2 weeks. I would be happy to give you any other information you might want or answer any questions for you. Please feel free to write me. Best of luck to you as you start your journey. You won't regret it for a moment. Stephanie

Hi Susan, Dr. Nease did my RNY on 5/02/05 and I couldn't be more pleased with his skill and knowledge. He has done (I think) well over 500 surgeries and knows exactly what he is doing! He is a terrific patient advocate and the nurses told me they want to hide when he comes on the floor because if any of his patients are not getting exactly what he specifies for their care he gets all over them. By that I mean getting you up and walking every 4 hours (even if they are busy) and making sure the JP tube is pinned to your gown and not hanging and other things. I had no complications to speak of but a terrific pain in my shoulder after surgery. That completely went away when the JP tube was removed. I live in Huntington so my surgery was at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Everyone I have talked to including my PCP is very impressed with Dr. Nease and I feel we are very lucky to have him here in Huntington. If you want to e-mail me for more details feel free. I am sure your experience will go very well with a surgeon as well qualified as Dr. Nease. Hope to hear from you soon or read of your experience on this forum. Daisy
