Topic: RE: Question about surgeon?

Sorry I do not know that much about Dr Rossi but I work at a Drs office here in Charleston and have not heard anything bad about him. That is something. I did speak with him on the phone once he told me about the sleeve. My ins would not cover it so I will be banded tomarrow. Keep us informed about your progress.

Good luck Crystal

Yay Dustypages!!!! Tell her I am excited for her. I have read a bit about the DS, but do not know much, and hope she does well in recovery. I will be interested to hear how she does. I am sure she has chosen an excellent surgeon.

DH is sick today. I think it is a cold. I have banded him to the bedroom. If I catch it and surgery is RS or after surgery and it makes me miserable He will never live it down.lol I know he did not do this on purpose.

  Crysyal with your grea attitude you are going to be fine during and after the surgery    you basically know what to expect and are up on the foods to and not to eat esp in the beginning    one word tho   that little breathing "toy" they gave you    make sure to use it    and  you will also recieve  a band type thingy  to wear after  it does make the soreness a lot less    and dont forget to walk walk walk  it makes the soreness go away so much quicker.
     my daughter as you know is waiting for her "date" for the DS and she  got it yesterday  it is Nov 13th  no not a friday  and her pre testing on the Nov 4th  so  guess where my hubby and I will be hopefully from before halloween  til after Thanksgiving     yelp  Kansas  babysitting while she has the surgery   and this will be the first year we will see them in their home for Halloween  I am so anxious   for that  I know dustypages is excited as well.
  My only wish would be that Dr Nece could do her surgery also  I have so much trust in him  and she is my only daughter  
  OK  get to work    you got some things to do to get ready for tomorrow     and  my prayers will be right there with you...
   willa      tell   your hubby I will be waiting to hear from him   I am so happy for you

Topic: Question about surgeon?
I am in the process of getting all my paperwork and "stuff" that my insurance needs.  I am having Dr. Sam Rossi do my surgery.  He is at CAMC in Charleston.  Has anybody out there had him as their surgeon?  If so, do you recommend him?  When I had my consult he seemed very nice and knowledgeable.  I was just wondering if anyone else knows about him.  Thanks!

Topic: RE: info about Dr Nease and staff
I am not having surgery till Wednesday, but have had wonderful a experience so far. I have both called the office and emailed and have had good luck getting my questions answered. He has a great way of explaining things so that you do not feel dumb and feel comfortable asking questions. I will say that their paperwork seems to be more RNY focused and the band stuff is just added in. The staff seems pretty knowledgable of WLS and had been helpful.
I do not know what kind of revision you are looking into but you should book to go to one of his seminars. He is very straight forward and I liked that at his seminar.

Hope this helps. Crystal

Topic: RE: CRYSTAL
I am here. I was out of town this weekend and did not get on the internet and I had a test tonight so when I could get on I did not so I could study. I had a test tonight and I am glad it is over.Not sure how I did.

I have been on clear liquids all day. I did very well, if I do say so myself. I printed a little badge to wear to work today that said "DO NOT FEED the Receptionist". It was a big hit.

I took tomarrow off so I can get organized, and run some errands. I hope the clear liquid diet does not get too much harder tomarrow.

Wednesday I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 am. I should be out same day. Willa will give you guys an update as soon as she gets it.

Thanks for all the support and keep it coming if you can. Crystal
