BILLIE: I was a bariatric patient. And after loosing over 80 pounds, well actually I met Dr. Holzman at one of our support group meetings. And I was so impressed with him taking his time to come talk to a group of people who’ve been through a lot, loosing weight and struggling through it, people just like me who had plodded all their life. Here’s this person standing there so knowledgeable and willing to spend his time and tell us what he can do for us.
He, he just explained everything to us. And I was thankful for that. and I told my husband, you know, 99when I’m to my point where I’m happy with me then I want to get fine-tuned. And I think he’s the man to go to. And he agreed. And I think my husband probably didn’t realize until that point how important that was to people who’ve made so much change in their life. And its doctors like Dr. Holzman who understand that. And thank God for people like him.
When I came to him, actually over a year later, he seemed like he remembered me. And I told my husband I had met you at the support group meeting. And I said what I’m here for today is I want you to give me an honest opinion what I need to do to get rid of all this excess skin and when we can do it. The thing was I only had like three months to get all this done and get back to my workplace by September first healed, ready to work full-time. And I had been working part time for several years, so this was a big thing to me. And he took on the challenge. And I’ve been happy with all of it. And I’m happy with people in here. They come in—you come in and they just know who you are. And they’re happy for you. It’s—I did the right thing. And I will forever be happy for him and his crew. They just are fantastic people.
