Surgeon Testimonial George Kerlakian, M.D. I have been overweight most of my life, and started looking into bariatric surgery about 4 years ago. I have met with a total of 3 surgeons, and it wasn't until I met Dr. Kerlakian that I felt comfortable. The office staff as well as Dr. Kerlakian stresses the importance of aftercare and provides all the tools for you to get it started. Vicki, the nurse is especially nice and informative and tries to make you feel comfortable, even though the steps you are taking are life changing and a little scary. Tangela, who handles all the insurance stuff is well versed on the necessary steps to go to bat with your insurance company to get your surgery approved. They are all great, and I am so excited to start my new life with them to support me in my journey! Latest Surgery Support Comments No comments posted yet. Please post yours.

My Story I have been heavy my entire life. I was teased in school about my weight for as long back as I can remember, and was always the fat girl, with the skinny friends. My weight tended to separate me from them in many ways. As I became older, I became more self confidant, and although my weight kept going up, I realized it was indeed your personality that attracted others to you. At 35, my weight has become a health issue. I have horrible joint pain, borderline diabetes, and high cholesterol. I decided after years of research to have gastric bypass done. I am scheduled for March 27, 2007. This will be the day I will change my life. |
