Surgeon Testimonial

Mark R. Gibbs
I met Dr. Gibbs for the 1st time at a seminar he held with his staff. Dr. Gibbs was a very informed Dr. and let you know his honest opinion and never sugar coated anything, which I liked a lot. Dr. Gibb's staff is very wonderful, anytime I have a question I can email them and receive an answer right away. My 1st visit to Dr. Gibbs before the surgery, I had a list of questions. He was very straight forward with me and answered each question as honestly as he could. Dr. Gibbs took the time to answer each question and made sure I understood the answer to each. The day of the surgery Dr,. Gibbs and his staff were wonderful, made me feel comfortable and ready to do this. After the surgery, Dr. Gibbs skilled surgical knowledge, I was not in any pain after the surgery at all. I was pleasantly surprised. I never had any pain from the surgery at all.. I am 7 days post -op and walking 3 miles per day now, have so much energy. I cannot thank Dr. Gibbs enough. Dr. Gibbs has given me something back that I was trying to achieve on my own for years. Dr. Gibbs gave me a tool, a wonderful tool that I will be able to use the rest of my life.
Dr. Gibbs advised me at the seminar, at our 1st appt and each time he came to the hospital to visit me about aftercare. Dr. Gibbs wanted to make sure I was on the same page as him for the aftercare, which I certainly was. Dr. Gibbs also recommended the support group and made sure I was aware of this most valuable and informational group. Dr. Gibbs went over the surgical risks with me and made sure I understood everything.

THANK YOU DR. GIBBS. I recommend Dr. Gibbs highly!!!

I had a love/hate/love relationship with food. Food always made me feel good. When I was stressed I would reach for the worst possible food to chew on and I wasn't even hungry. I would look in the mirror and curse myself out. No matter what I did the fat would not leave my body. I could not get a full nights sleep I was always getting up multiple times to use the bathroom because all of the fat on my organs would be pushing on my bladder. I could not sneeze, cough, or laugh my bladder would let go. This was very embarrassing. I would cry, I would hate to go shopping because people would look at me and I can only imagine what they were thinking in their heads about me. Children would stare at me. I would feel horrible and what did I do, I...

Can't wait until 1 yr out and see what I look like.  My goal is 10 pounds per month weight loss.  This month I lost 26 pounds.  I'm so pround of myself.  I thought I could never do this and look at me now!!!

Continuing the journey with promise and less fat.  Eating and being healthy for the rest of my life!
