Surgeon Testimonial

Michael A. Snyder
The best. Based on many factors. He treated me intelligently, treated my family with dignity and respect, had the entire \"process\" of surgery (not just the 30 minutes in surgery) down COLD. I have a lifetime of aftercare, and it is clear that he understands that, and is ready for it. His diet regulations are extremely humane. I honestly believe he is one of the few people, let alone dr.'s that GET obese people, without he himself being obese. He has a confident and at ease bedside manner, as does his staff. The staff seem rushed and a bit overworked. Come on doc, hire about 2 more people.... But they are kind (Brandi is my fave) I would by far recommend this crew to my very own daughter if she ever needed it done.

    I love you more and there is less of you - you should feel it more intensely.

    Hope all went well during and after your surgery and that you're resting and recovering peacefully! I know you'll be a great loser! I will be joining you on the losing team on 8/29!

My Story

My story is simple. Girl meets pasta. Girl falls in love. Pasta tries to murder girl for 20+ years. Girl rebuilds her body, soul and mind so she is no longer falling in love with anything that will allow itself to be covered in a sauce. Girl goes on, day by day, learning to live without her old love, having a pretty great life.

They Are Just Numbers--not who I am.
