Surgeon Info:
D. Blaine Nease, M.D. F.A.C.S. (Huntington, WV)
I had heard very good things about Dr. Nease and decided to atend one of his seminars. I got a little irritated when one of his staff told me he won't do the surgery on a smoker. Great, another slam for being a smoker;) I almost left, but decided to at least stay and listen. I was very impressed with Dr. Nease. He goes over some of his family history and it's clear why he is so passionate about what he does. I knew by the time it was over, this was what I needed to do to improve my health. I am also extremely proud to say I gave up a 31year, 2 pack a day smoking habit! 1/29/10 will make a year. It's a long, slow process to eventually get everything done to have surgery, but it's SO worth it. Dr. Nease and his staff make sure that you're very well informed and educated prior to surgery, and have support groups to help before and after surgery. I was banded on Sept. 23,2009. Cabell Huntington Hospital has wonderful facilities and staff to assist you both pre and post op. Dr Nease is great in preparing you for surgery and in his visits after surgery. I've had several surgeries and this one went very smoothly. A lot in part to my knowing what to expect. I'm very happy with my decision and with my ongoing progress. If I had to say anything negative, it would only be that it's a very busy office and I usually have to wait quite a while when I go to my appointments, but to me, it's well worth the wait:)
