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.

Well I know it has been a while since I have updated so here goes...I have been running my tail off and I have not been able to do that comfortably for many years...I seem to be a some kind of stall in the weightloss..This weekend I went to my church camp with the family and it was my childrens frist time there and they had a ball...we walked everywhere..to the playground and the the rec hall my car didn't move at all the whole weekend...my greatest acheivement this weekend was when I walked down to the waterfront I have been going to the camp at least two weekends a year for the past four years and have never been able to make it down you have to go down some steep hills and very rocky...getting down was never the problem but I just knew I would never get back up without a ride...welllll this weekend I walked down and walked up I had a walking stick but I did it....I it felt awsome to be able to do that...now I cannot wait to go back in October for my Womens District Retreat and take pictures of the fall leaves..
