Dr. John Wilder Baker - Dr. John baker

Dr. John baker is a great doctor and his office is full of patients where are all the people that are in his office??? Don't want to let other people what a great service they got in the office. I was very happy with my appointment and i am looking forward to my surgery 10/20/10. Would like to hear from others that have used dr. Baker.

HI Arkawanna, I am also a pt. of Dr. Bakers and I am really excieted about getting my Band done. I first started setting up appts to have surgery back in 1997. Now I am finally at the point that I know for a fact that I need to do this... I would not have become a full blown Diabetic and full blown fibromyalgia if I would have just followed through with it back in 97. Well this is happening on the 17th. yea baby in 2 days at this time I will be sipping my meals. I will be glad when this part of the road is completed. I really do not know how to do these threads or how to set up a tickler to show my progress so I have to wait until my daughter can show me how. Dr. Baker is such a great doc. Drowboat

Hello, glad to hear you are going to do it. You won't regret it one minute. I am going to get my first fill on the 17th wednesday. So if I knew your name I would come see you in the hospital. You will be great. It is no big deal. I was up walking the halls all night so I could go home the next day. I want you to be strong and the less drugs you use after surgery the better. A little to help you sleep but don't get to pushing the button to much or you will get a head ache from hell. Morphin!@!!! Take care and I hope I can come by and say Hello. cherie Neal

I went for my first appt on Tuesday, just waiting for approval through my insurance. Once they get approval they will call me to come back in. They did say I would be able to have it done before the end of the year and that was one of my goals. Good luck!!
