Robert P. Shapiro M.D.
I liked Dr. Shapiro from the time I met him. He was very thorough. I have had a very positive experience through this whole process. I would refer anyone to this doctor.

My Story

Well this has been a long road to come to the decision to make this journey.  I have been researching WLS for about six years.  Three years ago I decided to go with the RNY, went to the seminar and came out of there pumped and decided I could apply all the things I learned without surgery, NOT!  So the following year I went to the seminar for the lap-band.  First the surgeon was a total jerk to me and second, my insurance would not cover it.   Okay, so May 2006 I decide on the RNY again.  The first seminar I can get to is in July.  I go, the next day I make the psyche appt, dietitian appt and here we go.  Everything just fell into place like this was totally meant to be.  I had open RNY on Dec. 18, 2006.  It has been a relatively painless two weeks so far, as far as pain goes that is.  I am on clear liquids until the 4th of January when I go see the doctor again.  I can't wait.
