Surgeon Testimonial

William Chapman M.D.
One the biggest fears I had with Gastric Bypass surgery was the mortality rate. When I first met Dr. Chapman two things changed the way I approached WLS, mentally and emotionally: 1) He was straight forward and spoke his mind. 2)He was confident and reassuring. He discussed what would happen and what to expect. I didn't even need to ask questions from my prepared list. Following my surgery, I looked at my small scars. I smiled at how great I felt and when Dr. Chapman came to visit, I said \" Dr. Chapman, they said you have gifted hands. I believe they are right.\" Beware however, he is so busy and so requested, don't be insulted that he has fellows and other staff who work with him - and you. But, they more than make up for the fast moving Dr. Chapman. I personally feel very fortunate.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Shame, self hatred, poor health, social anxiety all contributed to the roller coaster ride with my weight loss battle. I spent 18 monts in the gym with a personal trainer and nutritionist and only lost 45 pounds. They could figure it out either. Then one day I read that only 5% at my size ever lose and keep off weight.

One Year - I can live with that!
posted on 10/7/10 6:39 am
Today is one year!  I have lost 123 lbs.  It has not been easy and continues to be a challenge.  I23 lbs lost.  That is not all.  I lost my high blood pressure; continous asthma attacks, breathless walks to my car, lack of energy, low self esteem, blood thinners.  I have lost so much more than 123lbs.  Dr. Chapman, OH friends, I love you all.  I have lost 123 lbs in one year.  I can live with that and much longer, too.
