Surgeon Testimonial

Luis Reyes, M.D.
Dr. Reyes looks younger than I thought he'd be. He has a no nonsense approach. He talks to you about all your options and explains them thoroughly. There is no question that he's good at what he does b/c he has a line of patients coming in and out. If he decides you're a good candidate, right there, they start the process. The insurance clerk sits down with you to go over procedures. The office clerk gets on the phone and starts making appointments with your PCP, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and any other professionals you need to see. You leave with a list of appointments, tests, and other things you need to do before the insurance letter gets sent. You leave feeling like your in good hands. The entire staff is friendly and personable. I did consult Dr. Reyes in Jan 2003 for WLS, but my insurance at the time had an exclusion. I was disappointed that the office never offered to work with me on an appeal. I guess that they were more familiar with the requirements of my insurance company and knew that my denial would not be overturned on appeal. It wouldn't have been b/c the company is self-funded and they made the decision the first time. Anyway, I'm glad that I went back.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
It's been a lifelong battle. As most overweight people do, I had tried every possible diet and diet pill. I gained the majority of my weight during my pregnancies. It has been a struggle almost all my adult life.

2nd Round of Boot Camp - Day #1
on September 21, 2007 9:20 pm
Wednesday was our first day back at boot camp.  We didn't get a chance to workout because the police stopped our trainer when he was setting up and told him he needed a permit.  The city wants a piece of the action!

We met today, Friday.  I was a bit late so only did 3/4 of the workout.  It felt good to get back into it.  I know I'll be sore on Sunday.  I'm glad I signed up again.  I signed up my 13 year old too, but she didn't go today.  She had plans with a girlfriend.  My 9 year old went with me, but she complained and didn't do anything.  She's the one that really needs exercise.  I hope that I can get her to do some of the workout on Monday.  We'll see!
