Anyone know anything about Dr. Ferrell and Dr. Morton UNC in Chapel Hill?

I had my first consult with dr. morton. That was in May. My final consult with Dr. Ferrell is July 28th. My surgery will run 2-4 weeks afet final consult. The 2 women I have talked to said he was very caring and thorough. Dr. morton was supposed to be leaving before I have my surgery.

Sheila, First off let me say that Dr. Farrell is Wonderful. I know I am a little late in answering your question and I am not sure where you are in your journey but, I must say the he is good at what he does and has a great bedside manner. I am almost two yrs post op and doing wonderfully. One time at a post op visit my insurance wouldn't cover the visit and he actually came out into the lobby looking for me and sat with me in the lobby and talked with me about what I should be doing and what I shouldn't be and genuinely asked me how was I doing. He truely cares about his patients before and after!! Good luck to you in your journey. Michelle

I was raped and molested at the age of 5 and yes I remember everything. The only difference was you all caught it right then mine continued until I was 10 getting ready to turn 11. He had my life planned out. He said when I started my period that he would use condoms. He also told me all those years that if I told he would kill my family and in a way he did. He told my aunt his wife that he did not do it and that I was lying and she beleived him until she saw the tapes and pictures of everything. She just started talking with me and I am almost 25 now. He killed hisself and because he was a police officer it was all over the news. My advice is to get her help even if it is for a little while. Children are very smart these days they grow up so fast.

Kristi, I am so SORRY...I FEEL YOUR PAIN. tell your husband:" no she will not forget". it will remain with her all her life. she have been raped from her innocence. wake up mr husband and smell the roses. your primarly concern should be your child the brother who did this must go to jail so he will not do this to other children. I am sure your daughter is not the first or the last or/and the only child in the family he's done this ugly things to. he is discusting and once a molestor always a molestor. YOur child need counseling with someone who it's specialty is this type of work. You must act immediately and please do not wait. Your husband and you will need counseling also. I hold you and your daughterin my arms and hug both of you. God bless you! Dani

I have gotten her into counseling and she is now going weekly. The therapist specializes in this with children. The uncle has been arrested and bailed out. Our preliminary hearing is monday. There is NOTHING I will not do to protect my children! My husbands family is still supporting my brother in law and has never even asked how she is doing. It just infuriaties me! Thank you all for your words and support! Plus I will take the hug!

Kristi, You have a lot to deal with right now. Your In-laws must be out of your life and not allowed in your house and around your daughter. The brother is bailed out, you must be very careful not to socialize near anywhere he is allowed to show up. Your child need to be as far as it can be away from this criminal and his family. WHy? because the family is not supporting the child and they may say something which will hurt her and remain with her for a life time. KEEP HER AWAY FROM ALL OF THEM> if your husband does not understand this then it is his problem alone. She is under your protection and depend on you more then him. I am so sorry you have to go through all this. Mor hugs and hugs....... Dani

I have done this already! I am so mad at them!! The only way I will allow them to see her is if I am completely present. I even withdrew her from her preschool because my mother inlaw worked there. My daughter is now at another preschool and doing fine. She does ask to go back to her other school, but I can't trust my motherinlaw because i know they are desperate to save their son as wrong as that is! I WILL NOT be where there is a possibilty he will show up!! I am being very cautious and I am worried how I am going to act monday when I have to see him. The court actually supeoned my daughter and I threw a fit and they withdrew it finally. She was videotaped originally naming the uncle so they should not need her. I will not allow her to be further victimized. I am trying to not get very upset and stressed out as well because I am 10 weeks pregnant. Thanks again for the hugs again. Here are some right back at ya! Kristi P.S. check out my profile and you will see my sweet babies! My five year old is my brown haired daughter.

Tom ~ Our son just joined so we've been looking through the regs pretty good - he'd had a couple of surgeries that were questionable. During our search through the regs, I did see a section that prohibited individuals with WLS from joining. If you know the military, then you'll understand that "there are waivers for most every thing". I know of an AD woman stationed at Elmendorf who paid out of her pocket for Lap-banding and they let her stay in. As for GS jobs, it depends on the overseas location. When I PCS'd up to Alaska as a civilian, there was no medical clearance required for my kids or me; however when my husband came to follow me up here (he's AD), we all had to get medically cleared to be here (even though we'd already been here 15 months without him). Some locations do require medical clearance for civilians because of the lack of medical facilities. Good luck, Maria 272/154/155
