Surgeon Testimonial

Erik Throop
Dr Throop performed laproscopic RNY on me 1/25/2010. He was very patient, informative and thorough in explaining the procedure, risks and what to expect after surgery to me and to my husband at our pre-op spots. His manner is very quiet and soft spoken but I felt completely confident in him before surgery and during my hospital stay and afterwards.

The staff at St Mary's Bariatric Center are very friendly, caring and responsive. I would recommend them (and have) to anyone seeking treatment for obesity.

My Story

Hi, 

I never had a weight problem til after I had kids.  I did have 5 in 7 years during my twentys.  Since then, I've lost weight and put it back on many times.  It's been a struggle physically, emotionally and now it's effecting my health.  I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis in my knee, IBS, GERD and depression.  It's hard to believe I could look like some of the after photos I see on this website.  I'd love to be able to be more physically active and look better and feel better about myself.  I also want to try to get off of some of the medications I have to take now.  

I really appreciate all of the shared experiences and knowledge I can gain from people on site who are going through or have gone before me.   

I CAN'T WAIT to be an "after".
