Surgeon Testimonial Paul Frye, M.D. I had my Gastric Bypass November 8, 2001, in Fresno Calif, at Fresno Surgery Center. Dr Paul Frye was awesome, his staff is great too. He took time to answer any questions or concerns I or my husband had. He went over risks with us, and side efffects and such. He likes to take care of all his Gastric Bypass patients for a 5 yr program. He was very caring after my surgery, and when I had complications, made sure I was well, before releasing me. Cathy, his nurse, is great, she was always there for me, any time I had questions after I got home. Right after surgery, I lost my insurance, they worked with me, what was important to them, was that I be seen, no matter what, I was so Post-op, I needed care. Even though I am 16 months post op now, I know he is only a phone call away. He made going through this scary thing,,EASY!!! I reccomend him to every one!!! He's GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

My Story I AM A 40 YR OLD MOTHER OF 3, AND GRANDMOTHER OF 1. I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A DIVORCE AFTER 20 YRS OF MARRIAGE. I AM LIVING ON MY OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND JUST MOVED TO MERCED, CA. I AM IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP AND THE HAPPIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN. I HAD AN OPEN RNY NOVEMBER 8, 2001 IN FRESNO, CA BY DR PAUL FRYE. I HAD THE MOST EASY EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE HEARD OF ON ANY OF THESE SITES. FROM THE TIME I EVEN KNEW THIS PROCEDURE EXISTED TO THE TIME I HAD THE SURGERY, WAS 5 WEEKS. NO HASSLE WHAT SO EVER GETTING APPROVED. I THEN HAD BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD PPO. ONLY COMPLICATION I HAD, WAS WHEN THE DR OPENED ME UP, HE FOUND THAT MY SPLEEN WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY ANOTHER SURGEON WHEN I HAD MY GALL BLADDER REMOVED WHEN I WAS 18. NOT ONLY WAS THERE SCAR TISSUE, BUT IT WAS SO SWOLLEN AND ENGORGED, IT WAS WRAPPED AROUND MY STOMACH. THEREFOR, THE DR HAD TO REMOVE IT TO GET TO MY STOMACH. RECOVERY WAS FINE, AND I LOST 160 POUNDS, IN APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS. I WENT FROM 320 POUNDS, DOWN TO 160, AND FROM A SIZE 30-32 TO AROUND AN 8. ONE YEAR, I GOT STREP THROAT, AND COULDN'T EAT, AND LOST DOWN TO 148 POUNDS, AND A SIZE 4. SOUNDS GREAT, BUT I AM 6 FOOT TALL AND I LOOKED SICKLY. I CALLED MY SURGEON, AND HE ADVISED ME TO DRINK MILKSHAKES TO GAIN BACK WHERE I NEEDED TO. I AM NOW BACK TO MY COMFORTABLE 8. IN APRIL OF 06, I HAD THE SKIN REMOVED ON MY STOMACH AND A SCAR REVISION. IT WAS DONE BY KAISER IN MANTECA CA AND I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH IT. |
