Anyone from South Florida



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am from south florida and will have my surgery with Paul Wizman on Aug 26th 15, I am very nervous because I have a previous scar (I dont have my spleen) where he will have to touch to go in, my other fear is that I heard that some doctors dont cut your stomach small enough and you still feel hungry. I know crazy...., but we all have some kind of fear!

Any one from south florida? Anyone with similar fears?

Thanks!

If approved my surgeon will be Dr Vaughan. I also have a few fears and will have to discuss them with him. The biggest one is that every one says walk as much as possible after surgery. I have to use 2 canes and can only walk for 2 minutes not sure that would be enough time for the gas to even begin to move out. Also I have a hernia above my belly button and am concerned as I believe an incision is made the the location of where my hernia is. Not sure how that is going to happen as the Dr didn't want to remove hernia until I lost almost all my weight. He said this kind of a hernia could come back.
