Stacy1980 0 Posted August 29, 2009 hi :frown: Congratulations on your success.! you look fantastic! Dr. Bertha is the doctor who will perform my surgery (if i get approved that is). What was your experience with him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raeraepa 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Hello Stacy, Dr. Bertha is amazing. Let me tell you through him you WILL get approved. He did my mom & step dads bypass and my cousins band like mine. I am in Pa and traveled to Jersey to have him do mine. My port did get infected and had to come out and a new one put in. But even through that he was amazing and straight forward. He is kind and tells it like it is. He was up front with me that I should have the bypass because of how much i had to lose but when I said I wanted the band he said ok and told me that it was my choice and would help me with my journey. You will be very happy and well taken care of. Keep me updated and good luck to you, Rae Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jollygreen1955 0 Posted September 1, 2009 Rae- Fix the date of your surgery in the box to the left, YOU DID WELL I have the lapband. What impressed me the most is that you did not give up with the infected port. I honestly, being a NON quitter would have fainted and god knows what? :thumbup:Very Inspirational :biggrin::thumbup: Laura Oh by the way :party::thumbup:You look GREAT!!:wub::thumbup::thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
