Surgeon Testimonial

Jon R. Pirrello, Jr. M.D.
I was already so excited when I first went to the appointment, that when I met the staff at Dr. P's it made me even more anxious to get the ball rolling. Dr. P is very calm and has an effective means of communicating with what you should expect and what he expects of you. He is very informative and takes as much time as you need to answer all the questions you may have. I feel very comfortable with Dr. P doing my surgery. I have been researching WLS for about 5 years now and I didn't want just anyone to operate on me. I truly believe the Lord has put in the right hands.

I feel like the incredible shrinking woman!!
This is wonderful!  I don't really ever get hungry.  When it is time to eat something my body let's me know and I take a few small bites and I'm full!  I guess I sound like sooo many others "I wish I would've done this a long time ago.  I have so much more energy now with just this amount of weight coming off.  I can't imagine what it will be like when I actually meet my goal.
Current weight is 368.  That's a total of 46lbs.  THANK YOU LORD!!!!

Wow, what an amazing accomplishment. Congratulation!

It was around April 2007 when my wife and I decided we wanted to start our family. Dr. highly recommended we did not, while my wife was over weight, diabetic and has high blood pressure. She recommended wls. Denise had already thought of wls in the past but was scared and never perused it. This time was different, especially if we want to start building a family. She started classes in May 2007.

So here we are over a year later and her scheduled date for wls is June 5,2008. She is nervous, scared, excited but most of all ready.

Congratulations to you both!

Thanks! The please let your wife know that the only regret I have is not doing this sooner. She will be so very happy with how much her (and your) life will change for the better. People that have struggled with weight issues, it is truly a blessing. I will keep you both in my prayers as her surgery date approaches.
