Surgeon Testimonial

John Gens M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Gens is not only a talented and skilled professional, he is also a down-to-earth and friendly man. He could easily have a big ego about himself with all that he's accomplished, but he doesn't. He is very caring and informative, never beating around the bush about anything and always willing to go the extra mile for your well-being! His Post-Op care & programs are key to success after surgery, which he emphasizes and takes a roll in.
Dr. Gens is a spectacular surgeon, caring professional and a genuine person overall. Dr. Gens has changed my life for the better and I just cannot thank him enough!

1 more week...
posted on 6/9/08 3:06 pm

I met with my surgeon, Dr. Gens, today. All my pre-op tests came back just fine, except that the Ultrasound found some Gall Stones in my Gall Bladder. I was shocked! I haven't had any abnormal abdominal pains, so I was flabbergasted when he told me that. We may opt to have it removed when he does the RNY.

But now I have to wait about a week for BC/BS to approve me for the surgery. I'm sure I'll have no problem getting approved. Monty was approved along with 4 or 5 other co-workers with the same insurance.

I have lost 1/2 lb more than required by the program (I had to lose 17 lbs, which is 10% of my excess body weight) but as of today, I've lost 17.5 lbs! :-D Go me!

So now the wait begins... After work for the next week, I'll be pulling into my driveway like a crazy person to get to my mailbox faster!
