Surgeon Testimonial

Uretz J. Oliphant, M.D.
Today i finally met with Dr. O . I was really nervous because everyone said he is very buosness like and matter of fact. I was suprised i thought he was great. he laid out all the facts and the risks. He definatly wants you to know this is a forever life style change. he really laid out the truth and the facts.I can tell he is very serious about the risks of the surgery, But he also let me know all the benefits.He wants you to know this is not cosmetic. I thought he was wonderful. He is very busy man and i think he was in a litttle bit of a hurry today but he didnt rush us out. he was great.

My Story

my name is christina and i have been researching this site for about 5 years. i was all set about 5 years ago to do this and than i visited the memorial page and chickened out. well 5 years later and another 100 pounds i know i will not live long the way i am . i can barely walk. i have to do this. I have 5 children that i want to see grow up and i want so bad to ride a roller coaster with them or just go for a walk with them. i have called over 150 surgeons in il trying to find someone to take my medicaid card. i think i finally acomplished that. im ready to live.
