Surgeon Testimonial

Raymond L. Drew M.D.
Dr. Drew was a pleasure to meet with. He answered all of my technical questions, and even went above and beyond and told me other ways to do a specific part of the surgery and told me how he does it so I could compare. He spent a little more than an hour and a half with me. I never felt rushed or that I was asking too many questions.rnrnPost-OprnDr Drew was great all the way through the whole process. He walked with us to the OR and was there the whole time. He has a great demeanor and is an excellent skilled surgeon. I was well taken care of on his written orders, minimal pain/discomfort. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

I recently discovered Bariatric Advantage has a auto refill program which means they'll send you what you need when you're running out, and it qualifies you for free shipping!

My Story

I just received copies of my medical records dating back to about age 5. On every one of my pages "overweight" was noted. All the way back to age 5. At at 14 I weighed in at a whopping 189lbs!!! I was shocked when I read that. I knew I was overweight all of my life, but I never imagined that much at such a young age! At age 7 I was referred to a dietician. Not sure we ever made it to one. I asked my mom about it and she doesn't remember. I can't wait to finally get the tool (surgery) to help me win this obesity battle I have been fighting my entire life!
