Surgeon Testimonial

Larry Hobson, M.D., F.A.C.S
My first impression was a little bias because I was really wanting Dr. Titus Duncan to do my surgery but his surgery calendar was full until sometime in June and I need to have it done ASAP so I guess who better than one of his partners, right? Dr. Hobson seems very nice and he answered all my questions. He's very knowledgeable and explained the process in great detail.
The staff was absolutely fantastic and very comforting.

Went to the Pre-OP Today!!!
on May 20, 2008 8:37 pm
Okay, today I went to the Pre-Op and as soon as it started and the lady started explaining things about the surgery I got so nervous that I started sweating bullets and could feel the vomit coming up in my throat.  I thought I was going to have a total nervous break down because I guess I was just having the reality of it hit me that I'm really going to do this and my entire life is going to change.  So as she was talking I kept asking myself all these questions to make sure that I really do want to have this done? 
Well after going thru the entire thing I have completely reconfirmed to myself that "YES!!!" this is what I want for myself and my daughter.  I really am ready for this and I'm fully aware of what is going to happen and that I am ready to make these life changes.
Wow!!!  I'm having the Upper Endoscopy on 5/22/08 and surgery on 5/28/08!!!  It seems so surreal for me!!!

My Story

I'm 28 yrs. old wife and mother.  I have been overweight all my life.  I can remember being 132 lbs. when I was like 10 yrs. old, after that I don't ever remember being that small.  I really need this surgery because it will be my tool to live a better and healthier life.  
I have tried so many diets and yes you loose a few pounds and then you just gain them back.  I have a little girl that needs me to be healthy and live a long and healthy life.

Well my pre-op is 5/20/08.  My upper endoscopy is on 5/22/08 and YES THE BIG EVENT "THE SURGERY IS ON 5/28/08"!!!!

I'M SO THRILLED I CAN'T STAND IT!!!
Pray for me Ya'll!!!
