Surgeon Testimonial

Darius Ameri, M.D.
Dr. Ameri is the best...he was very informative, and very understanding of the way that obese people are treated in the world..he always treated me with respect and did not treat me like a child that had done something wrong. My primary care mentioned to me the Dr. Ameri was too nice to be a surgeon because surgeons usually did not get personal with you just did the surgery and that was it...not Dr. Ameri. My opinion of him has never changed...if I had to choose again I would choose him in a heart beat. His office staff is wonderful...always helpful and attentive and very respectful. There is really nothing I can say that I did not like about him. Just speak with him ask him anything he feels there is no such thing as a stupid question and he will take as much time as you need to get your questions asked..I was never rushed out of the office. Aftercare is very important to Dr. Ameri and his staff they are right on the ball making sure you understand what it is that you are suppose to do and make sure you do it...yes he does have a structured aftercare program in which you MUST follow and if you do...then you should not have any problems. Dr. Ameri went over all of the risks up to and including possible fatalities. Rating Dr. Ameri if on a scale from 1-10 I would definately rate him a 9.9 because no one is perfect but he is close...I believe surgical competence and bedside manner are both important especially when dealing in the field with obese people...the world can sometimes be a cruel place when it comes to being obese so having surgical competence to be able to help people in this way and just treating people like a person not a disease.

    Jannine, I just read your profile page for the first time and it was so encouraging for me. I too was opposed to the surgery and actually bit the head off my PCP when he suggested it. But then started looking at my 3 yr old and realized I wanted her to be proud of her mom and not embarrassed by having a big mother. So I have set my consult and I will see you at the meeting on 8/8.

Mr. Pouch refuses PORK!!!
on July 31, 2006 12:00 am
July 31, 2006: Ok so since the beginning of the month I have had the opportunity to try so many different things and found that my pouch does not like PORK…on the 4th I tried a country style spare rib…I boiled all of the fat off then marinated them in bbq sauce and the toasted them up on the grill and either I ate it too fast or mr pouch didn’t like it…so then a few days later when mr pouch was feeling better a friend stopped by with so me Chinese food and I tried the pork strip and some pork fried rice and beef and peppers again within 5min I was in the bathroom and then about a week later I tried to make a pork roast in the crock-pot making it very moist….you guessed it mr pouch will not accept pork into the pouch so I am not trying anymore…Pork has now been banned from my house…as far as exercising I am trying my best…but since being in an accident I have hurt my back and it takes a lot out of me just to do Physical Therapy so I am taking it slow I am still walking and chasing after the kids so I am getting in that and I am going out today to purchase some 2lb hand weights so I can work on the bat wings and get them somewhat under control…have been doing a bit of swimming and that has been wonderful…
