Open Letter to Dr Horgan @UCSD

[HappyHomeCC 2]

To Dr Horgan and his TEAM.

Ya'll ( ;o) Natalie ) are AWESOME !!!!! Professional , Coordinated, Attention to Detail, Showing Compassion and Concern for the Patient. Encouraging, Educational..... OMG I was blown away.

From the moment I first talked to Catherine Dooley on the phone, and I was so frustrated with the "office" I was working with, she was calm , professional , and made me feel at ease. I had hope for my situation! Each time I called she answered and was very helpful. If she didn't have the answer she returned my call with the information.

I didn't even have time to read all the articles in the magazine I was looking at, or barely listen to a couple of songs on my MP3 player. I had brought books, writing materials etc and didn't even take them out !!!!

I was slightly bummed I had to redo the seminar because I had already done one, or so I thought, ha ha ha. I was impressed, and I learned some new things. It was well presented and interesting. The Question and Answer time was great too, and the Team was very patient. They stayed even beyond "time" to answer more individual questions. THANK YOU!

I LOVE the fact that Dr Horgan and the team puts the patients to work with logging data on the lapband or realize site and that we are accountable! That is such an awesome requirement. Having set months to report back to be checked on is wonderful. I am clear what I can expect of you and I know and understand what is expected of me. Knowledge and Support lead to great power in life!

I know that changing groups after doing my pre-op with the other group would set me back 2-3 months HOWEVER I now KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT it is the BEST decision I have ever made, I am glad I listened to that little voice in my head. I am so excited to have found my way to you all. I know I will have my life back and my kids will be able to enjoy more of their mom and make great memories doing awesome things with me that I have been unable or unwilling to do because of my weight barrier.

Thank You to everyone who met with me, I really can't thank you enough other than be successful with your support. I can't wait to see you again.

I AM GETTING MY LIFE BACK!

HappyHomeCC,

Are you post-op? Perhaps you should review Dr. Horgan on here... My surgery is in a week. I'll be writing a review sometime after that. I love the entire staff at UCSD's CTO (Center for the Treatment of Obesity?). They are very warm and caring, even when you're stressed out and nervous.:biggrin:
