Surgeon Testimonial

Peter Frederick Crookes M.D., F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S.
First met Dr Crookes in January of 2007 at the USC seminars. Knew instantly he was the Doctor for me. a no nonesense approach who demanded his patients know what they want and why they want it. You need to be fully aware of your responibilties and the risk. You can not be in better in hand than Dr Crookes, hes amazing. The hospital staff was great the PACE people make sure you are well informed and USC even has a support group that meets ever month that is run by the RN and dietician from the bariatric dept. His staff(ESPI) even got my insurance to pay for my VSG, which is pretty rare these days. You will be very pleased you chose USC and Dr Crookes, he saved my life

    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.

One month Post-Op July 4th
on July 4, 2008 8:54 am
Went to see the Dr on Monday,everything looks great down to 406. life couldn't be better. the weight adn inches are coming off, no acid reflux so far I can tolerate anything and everything thats good for me. Getting the water and protein is work but not impossible with the right food decisions. Not alot head hunger adn dealing far better with my food demons than I thought I would be able to. So far WLS has  been a great choice.
I am actually looking forward to going to the gym. That doesn't sound strange to alot BUT I have NEVER looked forward to going to the gym EVER.
Off to the July 4th festivities have a great 4th.
