Scott Stevens
"He was very straight with me. I had gastric stapling in Tulsa in 1982. He asked me what would make this surgery now have a permanent outcome... i told him that i now know that i am a complusive overeater and have stayed with OA since 1985... the stapling was prior to me finding OA, there was no extensive pre or post op counseling or followup, and i have aged 23 years and want my life back! He ad his partner at LiveLite in Junction City, Kansas have done 500+ RNY, but only 10 "revisions" which is what mine will be, plus more hospital time due to adhesions and altered anatomy from prior surgery... I had to undergo extra diagnostic tests, a scope and barium swallow before he would commit to doing the surgery. Dr. Stevens looked me in the eye and said: My goal for you is to get this weight off and have you functioning at your full potential as a doctor again. You will be doing the work, you MUST keep in OA, and you must want this more than anyone else.I said: AMEN! Medical staff, dietician and all program suppport people: FANTASTIC. The staff of Geary Community Hosp were so attentive and professional for my entire day of pre-op testing, they eased my anxiety and made the day go fast. Surgery is May 4... more later!"
