Surgeon Testimonial Wade Barker, M.D. I'm so glad I was referred to Dr. B's office! The staff was wonderful for the pre-op, and I expect the surgery and post-op to go just as well. Post-Op: Thank God for Dr. Barker. I've lost over 10 lbs since the surgery without a single problem. The staff was awesome. They get busy, they get overbooked, but it was so, so, so worth it. They only get backed up because they will take the time you need, not give you just the time they have. Latest Surgery Support Comments

Thanksgiving Post
I've actually been thinking about this stuff for a few days now, so first of all, thanks for setting up an opportunity to speak up. = ) Between grad school, WLS, and my job, it's been a rollercoaster year! I am thankful for my wonderful husband, who has really stepped up this last year. He'd take one look at me when I staggered through the door after having been up for most of the last 36 hours and tell me, "Hon, go to bed." He would stay up the extra hour to make sure my laundry made it into the dryer. He's been so supportive of my education and my surgery. I could not have done any of this without him. I am thankful for my daughter, who makes me smile and reminds me to laugh and play. She's the reason for so much of what I've pushed myself to do. I decided in part to get my MBA in order to make our lives better and to set an example for her of what women can accomplish. I am thankful for my in-laws, who have always been willing to help in any way we could ever ask for. When my DH was in Africa for a month, they made the arrangements to get our daughter so I could keep going to class. My mother- and sister-in-law took me to TGIFridays for my birthday the weekend before my surgery, where they both insisted on getting soup and milkshakes because I was on the liquid diet. They've really been wonderful. I'm thankful for my Mom, who has been staying nearby for the last couple months. She's always willing to advise me about whatever is on my mind; she's stepped in to help watch my daughter when I needed to study or work. It's been great being able to see her for dinner several nights a week; more than just once a year. I'll miss her when she goes home, but I'm so glad she's here for the holidays this year. I'm thankful for my Dad, who has been dealing with his wife's breast cancer but will still come out to watch my graduation ceremony. He's provided moral support despite his own problems, and even drove five hours to spend the evening and morning when we went to Pittsburgh for a conference. That meant a lot to me. And, thanks to all of you. I should cross into onederland this weekend, and I've found so much support from this board. I've turned to the forum when I've been scared, read posts and advice when I was confused, asked questions when I didn't know where else to turn, and provided support whenever possible. The people I've met have been great. Thanks so much to everyone for posting here - it's made a difference in my life. So now, I'm going to email this post to everyone mentioned here. Thanks again, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!! FalynnDFW 0 Comment(s)
