Surgeon Testimonial

Hosein N.M.I. Yasrebi M.D.
I knew Dr. Yasrebi's reputation when I chose him. I found him to be professional, personable and stern. I understand why. It's been said to me that he only takes low risk patients. That is simply not true. If you are high risk, he will make you low risk if possible and if you follow his instructions to the letter, you have it made. He required that I lose 50 pounds before surgery, and I did. I believe it has made all the difference in the world. My recovery so far has been remarkable. I found out that he changes gloves 3 times during surgery and cleans the body with an antibacterial solution 3 times during surgery. His wound infection is 0%. His staff is helpful and knowledgable. He has a good before care and after care program and I enjoy the support group meetings. I heard another surgeon speak about him, she said she could've have any surgeon from Harvard to Miami, and knowing the risks and reputations, she chose Dr. Yasrebi. She spoke for many minutes about his skill. She lost 200 pounds and looked great. I would rate Dr. Yasrebi the very best you could possibly choose. Just be ready to work hard at getting ready but it can be done.
I DO NOT have anything negative to say about Dr. Y and I've thought and thought about it. He should teach this to new surgeons!

    Wow, Charlie! Kudos to you on the 4 year anniversary!! You don't know it but you have been a great inspiration to me. I bookmarked your profile in my favorites way back when I first started researching the surgery, and here I am 2-1/2 weeks postop (finally) and I still go there and re-read it to this day for inspiration...not to mention I can relate to the surfer girl aspect, LOL, having grown up in the Florida Keys back in the day! I hope upon my 4 year anniversary I will be able to say I am as successful as you!

    Hello Miss Charlie and congratulations on a 4th year post op. You were an inspiration for me when I was newly post op 20 months ago...how the time does fly and you still are! Thank you for being there for me those many months ago.

    Hi Surfer Girl! Happy Anniversay! You've done so well with your weight loss and keeping it off that you deserve to really celebrate! So eat a whole, entire Power Crunch bar if you want ;-) Really, I hope you will do something special to celebrate your re-birthday! I'm so proud to call you my friend! Hugs! Vickie J.
