Sleeved and Satisfied!!
This review may be long. I'll begin by saying Dr.. Naim and his staff are awesome!! The Best!!
My story. I was always a skinny kid, 105-110.. I grew to be a skinny adult. After giving birth at 23, I was a "normal" weight. 5'7" and 130lbs. During my late 20' and early 30's I had severe female issues, wild endometriosis, cysts, tumors, etc resulting in 6 major surgeries, including a hysterectomy, within a 6 yr period. Having these surgeries pretty much back-to-back and with all the bedrest I gained over 100lbs. I wasn't even 40! I spent several years trying to lose the weight, but couldn't. At my highest weight of 265, I heard about the gastric sleeve from a friend who had wonderful results using this tool. I spent a few years researching and watching a sleeve surgery video on YouTube. I asked my PCP about it, but it wasn't approved. Then I was told I needed skin removal. I asked a question here on Real Self and the good doctor, Dr. Naim, answered. Others replied, but his was an actual answer. A few weeks later I called and made an appt. I canceled that first appt only to call back and reschedule. My first meeting with Dr. Naim was Aug. 31, 2020. I was nervous, but he was so kind and professional, that nervousness disappeared! He was through, smart, handsome, kind and patient. He answered my questions before I asked. He was very real and I appreciated that. I was on the way, then Covid happened! OMG! I had to wait for a surgery date. Disappointing as it was I waited, did what I needed to and in late January 2021 I called and Laila, his wonderful appt. setter, said surgeries were being scheduled! Yay! I was scheduled for April 20, 2021. On that morning I waited for what seemed like forever, then I saw the most beautiful vision of that day, Dr. Naim! He was the same, smart, handsome, kind doctor that I wanted to see. We spoke briefly. I was comforted by his words. Then his God given skillful hands gave me the tool needed to rid myself of the weight holding me hostage. He and his surgical team are awesome. I had no fear, just the peace of knowing they and the Lord were with me. Post-op, I was giving the best care. He and his staff were attentive, comforting and all around good people. All post-op appts have been pleasant. Dr. Naim is always informative, kind, through and while they're not long they are always pleasant. It'll be 1 year tomorrow. Starting weight was 265, today my scale says 161. The only con for me is the loose skin, but we'll deal with that too. Lol. I'm forever thankful to Dr. Naim, and his team, for providing me this tool. I'm very satisfied! I highly recommend him to anyone who's interested in WLS. Thank you doctor!!
