Surgeon Testimonial

Daniel Jones, M.D.
I met Dr. Jones at my first info meeting and instantly liked him. He seemed down to earth and extremely competent if not a tad bit serious. I have finished all of the testing and have a surgery date of 9/12/5 but I had to have my gallbladder out first..When I talked with Dr. Jones in pre-op I noticed something about him that you don't see in the office or meetings - He really loves what he does.

Gallbladder surgery - My surgery was pushed back in the day due to his first patient being a bit more involved than anticipated. Instead of Dr. Jones appearing tired and worn out it was just the opposite - he was raring to go. He has always been informative, compassionate, and very knowledgeable but to see that he also truly enjoys his job (which is rare no matter what you do) makes him amazing.

Lap-Band surgery - Once again Dr. Jones has done a stellar job. As of day 6 I feel like my self again.

I would recommend Dr. Jones to anyone and everyone and I am so glad that I found him!

On the tech side:
Office staff: Awesome - Angi and Debbie are the best. The whole bariatric team is great!
Aftercare - big into aftercare you get a 1 year schedule and your fist appointment is made before surgery.
Risks - very up front about all risks
Rate - A+

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Before discovering the Lap Band I had pretty much given up on weight loss - I had done the diets, all of them, with poor results and rather than continue to torture myself I was resigned to being a big girl. When I found out that there was an option that was safe, less invasive and didn't involve cutting up my insides I began to hope again.

    Hi Lynn, I don't know how to contact you so this is the only passageway I found. Regarding the gallbladder, my PCM also suggested I have the gallbladder removed prior to WLS. I can really relate to your schedule of preop events. Lynn, Here is a question of concern I have, (sounds a tad bit trite), Did you experience any significant hair loss, and if so, how bad was it and at what stage out of the 2 major surgeries did it occur?
