Surgeon Testimonial

William S. Peters
Well, what to say about Dr. Peters and Robbie.... words are not enough to describe them. rnrnMy first impression was one of immediate comfort knowing I'm in Dr. Peters hands. While he's quick to point out the potential complications and how hard all this will be, he's also a wonderful human being who made me always feel so at ease in his presence. He explains EVERYTHING and every option available. He spends a lot of time going over things. I was there soooo long, I couldn't believe it. I left knowing I want my life in this man's hands.rnrnAs the time went on, I became more and more attached to him and Robbie. She is an absolute dynamo and knows what she is talking about. She will fight to the death to get one of her patients approved. And Dr. Peters, well, when I first lost my job, I called him to cancel my EGD and he made me feel soooo much better about losing my job!! He's so upbeat and positive. Of course, I had the EGD to keep things moving, but without him I would have crumbled. He's not only a surgeon/physician, but a wonderful human being as well. rnrnI don't know about aftercare yet, but if pre-surgery is any indication, I'm sure it'll be great.rnrnDr. Peters and his wife, Robbie, are the reasons I got approved for surgery. Robbie gets mad for you when you are getting screwed over. While I didn't talk to Dr. Peters as much during the course of this month, Robbie told me he himself had made about 5 calls to Highmark on my behalf. I would absolutely NOT let anyone else operate on me for this. I have complete faith in him and Robbie and while I know my life literally is in his hands - I have no fear because of who they are as people and professionals.rnrnThank you both - words will never be enough.

    Carol, just found you on the Dr. website and I went thru what you did, wanted DS, but Highmark problems. I had RNY on Oct 23 and so far so good. Only problem with us lightweights is we don't lose as fast as the others. Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery, it's a great Christmas present to yourself.

And I weighed in this am at 146.  I'm quite happy and doing very well.  12's are too baggy, some 10's are awesome, some are too tight, depends on the brand.  Can eat everything and unfortunately, SUGAR.  EEK.  But quite happy!
