Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Dear , I got very excited when I read your message because I felt the very same way. I had my surgery was April 27, 7:30 a.m. I had 20 fibroids, two at 12 cm and a very large 24 wk uterus. Dr. West didnt bat an eye. He said , " Were going to take out your fibroids (all of them) and leave you with a well repaired uterus and youre going to be great. Then he gave me a big hug and said its natural to worry but dont. Any time I was particularly nervous, (like 2 weeks pre-op - I would call him). He would call back and he has a way of just putting me to ease). I could go on and on but you are right..He is the BEST DOCTOR I have ever met. I also had a wonderful recovery. Im still getting back but Im now briskly walking about 60 minutes a day. Im working two and a half days this week. My tummy swelling has gone way down and Ive got a little more to go. Im back in most all my pants and some hae to be taken in soon. I did all my research and was well aware that Dr. West had a temporary suspension. i researched it and spoke to Dr. West about it . After speaking with him, I felt totally confident that he is a teriffic surgeon. My Florida gyn is anxious to see my photos and if I could figure it out, I would post them. Everyone will be amazed. The Florida gyn told me that this is no easy surgery and that Dr. West must be very , very skilled. She asked me to bring info and reports and that she will be referring some of her Florida patients to him. I would say that is quite a compliment. Those of us wo have had Dr. West perform the surgery only know that he a perfect blend of a skilled surgeon and a very compassionate man. Thank you Nuff ladies that provided the path to a great doctor. , continue to do well. I caught a cold a week after surgery but am fine now and even managed to cough. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
