... [Click here for more] I was very impressed with Dr.Cerabona and Dr Artuso as they both explained the operation to me and their success rates...excellant dr's. it took me about a year to really find the courage to call the dr's office and tell them that that i was ready to go ahead with the operation...i was very happy that it was going to be done lap., not being cut all the way open. The doctor's assistant was very pleasent and positive...and told me about the doctor's successes with his other patients that had already been through this operation. I liked Dr. Artuso bed side manner. Basically the visits to the dr's office after the operation are as follows: 1.You will see the doctor 2 weeks after you are allowed to go home from the hospital...and then every 2 weeks for approx. 3 months, 2.Then once a month for the first year, 3.Then once every 3 months for the second year, 4. Then twice a year for the 3rd year. The every two weeks visits are very important to see your sucess and to have the doctor asnwer all your questions...and believe me you will have plenty of them.
