Surgeon Testimonial

Christopher Evanson, M.D.
My first impression, was, oh my, he looks so young..but dont be decieved by that, he's very knowlagble..and very detailed in the surgery
The staff, found to be patient, friendly..I found him to be kind...non judgmental..and very caring of your fears..questions..
I have just recently been approved for my surgery, and I must say, I trust him..he comes very well recommended..and his knowlege, when he talks, proves it.

A New Life
on October 26, 2006 6:40 am
I have battled with being morbidly obese for years, 
I had diabetes ( insulin ) degenerative disc's in my back..
arthristis in my knees high BP, high cholest. and had had
a blood clot in my lung, I could barely walk from one place
to another..I was pretty much chair bound, and as I see it
was getting worse. 
Before my surgery I weighed in at 423  , I didnt possibly even
comprehend the major changes this surgery would have on
me, my life. I just knew I had a decision to make, I had researched
for a year at  least, and altho my family doctor seen how i was
getting worse, he wouldnt recomend this surgery, I didnt let that 
stop me from the surgery . I wasnt "fearfull"  nervous, yes.BUT
I was determined, and after having the consultation with my surgeon I was then convinced.  I knew it had to be MY decision
I couldnt do this, for anyone else. 
I am now 18 months post-op...and have lost 244 lbs, Am no longer
On any medications at all,  I have went from a size 5-6X clothing
to size 14 !!  I still get emotional, when I look at the pic's of myself
before the surgery,  This has..and will be  my life,
