"I have finally met Dr. Nye. He is truly a wonderful doctor and I'm glad I chose him. I went to my consult Aug. 6th. He didn't tell me NO, exactly, but he did want to to change my drinking habit (get off the sugars!). He was right. He said to come back in 4 weeks and if I have laid off the sugar drinks, then he'll give me the "OK". I was sooooo upset that I just started to cry. He gave me a hug and said that it'll be alright in the long run. He told me the risks of this surgery and also that he didn't want to do such a risky thing (especially being young, married and two little boys) just to know I'm going to keep on drinking my sugars (which defeats the whole purpose of having this surgery). His nurse was really nice too. She comforted me after he had left. She said that he wouldn't have told me that if he didn't really mean it. He said that he was talking to me like I was his daughter (and he said he loves his daughter very much). So, I may have to wait another 4 weeks, but at least I know he cares enough. I give him a 10!!!!
I went back to him (as scheduled) on Sept. 5th, 2002. He sat me and my husband down once more and told me what I had to do from there to get prepared for the surgery. He said that I should be able to have my surgery within 3-4 weeks. I'm very excited. I have been going to WLS Support Group @ my local hospital. I've never once heard a bad thing about Dr. Nye. I'm really relieved about that!"
