No issues for me either, although I'm only a few days out. Was very pleased with the hospital and staff at NWMC as well for the most part, didn't know what to expect, and am kind of a stickler for some things since I work in a hospital myself.

Hi Amsaf

I am now over a year out from my surgery with Dr. Shillingford, and still have nothing but good news to report. I could not be happier with my decision to use him. My only regret is that since his office is three hours away for me, I haven't followed up as regularly as I should. But since I haven't had any complications, this really hasn't been an issue.

Please feel free to check out my blog for more details regarding my surgery day, and hospital stay. I really went into quite a lot of detail!

I had surgery with him on May 11th and have nothing but good things to say about him.

Also while in the hospital the nurses continuously said how he is a great surgeon.

My follow-up appointments are difficult to get to being 4 hours away but I know I must so I make myself drive there.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
