Robin P. Blackstone
"<p>Update Post (April, 2005) What can I say; it is a small miracle that I am just 1 month out of hitting my 1 year band anniversary! And as I stated when I started, I thought I would be one of Dr. Blackstone best candidates. At this current moment, with the Lap-band (11 months) I have lost 127 pounds! I wish you all success if your journey and again thank you so much Dr. Blackstone. I hope to come out this summer to do a year checkup.</p> <p> Original Post (June, 2004) What can I say about Dr. Blackstone that hasn't already been said by all her other patients. Let me say, if you want a surgeon, better yet a friend! That cares deep within their heart about your success, about your surgery, about your well being and about your health... Then run down to Arizona and meet up with her RIGHT NOW... When we first met she sat me face to face and talked to me about my choice of surgery, put the pressure on me to tell her exactly why I wanted the Lap-band and then decided I was a good candidate. And let me add this, I was her biggest BMI candidate yet for the Lap-band. Of course I replied, I might be her biggest, but I will also be her most successful... That turned into a challenge of being called her next "Poster Boy". :-) She was great in the hospital, before and after... Giving me a HUGE hug in the ICU... Coming to see me in my regular room, etc... She hand picks all her staff, and is EXTREMELY picky on who she lets on her staff. If she wouldn't let them do something to her, then they aren't going to do something to her patients. From talking to nurses etc around the hospital and actually having an aunt in the Arizona area who is in the medical industry, she is very well known as one of the best... Her office, staff and program is complete from A-Z. She has a full staff that includes a nutrionist, a physical therapist, scheduler, accounting, nurse praction, surgeon assistant, etc etc... Her office is so professional about this; it seems that nobody is really doing multiple tasks, because she has experts in every position to help you!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href = "http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/"><img src = "http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/art/banners/foundsurgeon2.gif" /></a></p>"
