Hello everyone! I am new to the website forum and I guess you can say new to the smartphone world so please bare with me. I am 37 years old, married, Mother of 4.

I had vsg surgery in Jan 2014. Before the surgery, I was very miserable with myself. I had no energy,very low selfesteem (which is getting better)

I began my journey in October of 2013. My first time meeting Dr. Samuel Bledsoe. I was scared, nervous, and somewhat ashamed to have to resort to such drastic measures.

Well, Iet me tell you, all of those feelings disappearedafter he walked in the door. I have never met a more caring doctor in my life!!

He LISTENED And truly UNDERSTOOD my struggles and NEVER Judged me. Dr. Bledsoe,along with his caring nurses... Ms. Haley & Ms. Pam, walked me through the steps needed for this surgery to happen.

The day of surgery, I was a basket case!! But Dr. Bledsoe met with me right before surgery, reassuring me with kind words & even prayed with me...I spent one night in the hospitaland while there he checked in on me several times...visits and phone calls to the nurses.

I really did not have many questions when I left the hospital... I was very well educated & prepared for what was ahead of me during my recovery process. But rest assured, any little question I had, Dr. Bledsoe & his nurses were there to answer & cheer me on!!

I also have to thank Ms. Sandra (dietician)... She gave me great suggestions on food choices.

So as Iend this letter, I am so very happy that I did this for myself.But, I dont think I would have done so well had it not been for this Dr. and his caring staff! My start weight: 279 and my Current weight:184 and still losing!!

Thanks so much for sharing! You're doing so well! Continued success on your journey!

Thanks!!
