Insurance woes with peer to peer reviews. New hospital bed, you hoped it was comfy (sorry, NOPE!) and you throw in cyst removal during surgery. Last time I saw you, you thought I could exceed the range on EWL( estimate weight loss). I'm working on it!

JP, you asked me what surgery I wanted. I said," I am getting the Sleeve." You said I was getting the Gastric Bypass ( RNY). I said, " I think not." You said, I think so. I said I am, " I am the patient," and you said, "I am the doctor." Take it or leave it. The Gastric Bypass ( RNY) would serve me better !!!!
Guess what it did!!!!!!

My life has changed forever since my DS surgery. Did you know a regulation football weighs 16 oz or exactly 1 lbs? Over the past 259 days, I have lost 135 inflated footballs. That's a lot to carry around, surely leading to a fumble! "War Eagles" I am a huge Auburn fan and I am 2003 Alumni. My wife and I had a baby boy two weeks after surgery and he now weighs 25 lbs. I can't fathom carry around 5 of him at the same time! Diarrhea, yes it happens 5 times a day! We have upped our Costco budget for toilet paper. Dr. JP, you have changed my life forever and I will never be able to thank you enough.
