We lost a wonderful DS surgeon over the weekend.  He's been ill for a while, but was so hopeful he would recover.

A link to his obit is here:

God bless, Dr. Peters.  I will never forget you.

He's been ill for quite some time.  He was very private about what exactly was wrong, although he told me he hoped to beat it, but it could kill him.  Guess he was right.

I was so disappointed to learn that he stopped practicing, and even saddened more now.  God blessed him and all of his patients.

Bill Peters did not save my life, he gave me one.
The best people in my life are in it because of the success of my BPD/DS.
I will never forget him. How could I?

My husband and I spoke to him recently and he was so grateful to have us call him. He was not only my surgeon but he had become a close friend to both my husband and I.
He saved my life and I will never forget him.

Rest in Peace.
Gratitude is my attitude
