Hi Tess, Nice to meet you. I am very happy with Dr Hess. Just saw him yesterday to have my first of many band fills. I'm about 5 weeks out from my surgery and feeling great. I have lost 20lbs since the surgery. I'm sticking to the structured eating guide lines given by my nutritionist Natalie Eagan at the Quincy Hospital combined with 35 mins a day on the tread mill. This seems to be working out just fine for me. I think both Natalie and Dr Hess are a great team in helping me to achieve my goal. Dr Hess has a great amount of enthusiasm and energy that spills over to you when you talk with him. He makes you feel good about yourself, giving you the strength to see beyond what you are currently facing with your weight problems. Believe in yourself Tess, you can do it. Dr Hess will be right there with you the whole way. I'm a quick healer. I was in the hospital over night and then home by 6pm the next day. The biggest challenge was the stomach muscles. They feel like a taffy pull after the surgery. Not to worry, they heal rather fast. You may be limited for a couple of days in your movement around your house but you will feel a lot better by the 4th day. The best thing you can do is walk as much as you can before the surgery(this will help with the healing process) and when you get home(when you feel you can) walk as much as you are able to. Your body needs to keep moving. I was back to work at my second job about 10 days after my surgery. Another thing to keep in mind make sure before and after you drink a lot of water. A big fear is dehydration after the surgery. Not really sure if you have a date for surgery as of yet? But I wish you all the luck in the world! If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. You will be in good hands with Dr Hess. Julie
