What doctor(s) has helped you on your WLS journey?
I wrote about thanking my Doctor, Dr. John Mathews & my insurance coordinator Nancy in a blog not too long ago. Doctor Mathews is AMAZING! http://www.bariatricsurgerybirmingham.com/practice.php
Raised as a Southern gal my Mamma taught me to always say thank you, I feel it very necessary to say thank you to those that have changed my life & body recently; my first PO after VSG is tomorrow (3/19/14) & here is what I wrote in a couple of notes that I will be giving the Insurance Coordinator & My Doc. Folks I know these people get paid but they have changed my life & deserve more praise than I'll ever be able to give.
To the Insurance lady Nancy I wrote; God places special people in our lives to help us out along the way. You are an ANGEL in my life! Thank you for all the hard work that you put in to helping me finally get my surgery insurance approved. For the longest time I felt as if my life was on hold & now I feel that I've been given a second chance. Words can not express my thanks to you, Dr. Mathews & the entire staff. God bless you for all that you do to help people get another chance at life. Love, Stephanie
& to Dr. Mathews I wrote; I can't say thank you enough for giving me a new lease on life. You are a wonderful man that God has given great knowledge to so that you can help many people. You don't know how much it meant to me that you took a moment to pray with me before surgery, it really meant A LOT! Thank you for helping me because for the longest time I've let my weight keep me from living the life that I want to live. God bless you and I will be eternally grateful to you and your staff for helping me. Stephanie
