"Dr Rifenberry and his staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I felt as though I was in very competant hands. He has given me a list of things I need to do before I come back to see him. I have met with the nutritionist and go for my psych eval on Feb. 8. He was very straight forward about everything and explained everything so I was clear. He made me feel reassured that this will become a reality for me, that someday I will be able to buy a dress out of a store window. My PCP referred me to Dr. Rifenberry because he feels he is an excellent surgeon and that gives me great confidence. I am so looking forward to getting on with the paperwork, which by now has become the most frustrating part!
Sorry I haven't updated for awhile. It's April 20th and my surgery is the 23rd. My confidence in Dr. Rifenberry has only increased over time. His nurse, Misty, is awsome also. She really makes me feel cared about. I am excited and a little scared, but I can't wait."
