Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Peters Jr. MD
My first impression of Dr. Peters was that he was a little younger then what I expected but I soon came to realize that no matter what his age was, he was a kind man and was very easy to talk to. I felt I could ask him anything and was not embarrased. He was very upfront about the risks of the surgery and pulled no punches when it came to the classes I would need to attend at PMRI for a $100 fee. At first the classes seemed a bit much but after the fact, I'm so thankful that I have all the information I do because of those classes. The pysch eval and endrochronologist visit set me back $30 co-pays each. At my two month mark I have to go back to PMRI but it will only be $30. The day of surgery he greeted me beforehand and set my mind at ease. He or his fellow surgeons at CHRIAS were there to check on me every day at the hospital and was only a phone call away if I needed something. The office staff is average along with the appointment wait times. I liked the fact that I didn't have to pay co-pays for my 2 week, one month (and upcoming three month) visits. However, I didn't like that it wasn't Dr. Peters seeing me for my follow-ups. I saw his physican's assistant, Ed. Now, Ed is nice, but I would have preferred to see my actual doctor. Overall, I have had no major problems or complications from my surgery and I'm very happy with my choice of doctor. I would recommend Dr. Peters to anyone looking for a good doctor.

posted on 7/26/11 6:47 pm
Hi all!
Just wanted to update you...as of today (15 months out) I finally reached onederland at 197 and that also means that I have reached a MAJOR goal of 200 pounds lost!!!!  I am speechless I made it this far.  I have 32 pounds to go for my medical goal but I'm wondering how much of that is skin (cause I have an awful lot) LOL.  Here is an older side by side pic of me at 152 pounds lost and below it is the most recent pic I have where I was down about 189 pounds.  I will post an updated side by side soon, promise!
Thank you for all of your support and outpouring of love.  I love my RNY!!!!!  I love not having diabetes or high blood pressure anymore.  I also love not being in pain all the time.  

Keep rockin your tools everyone!  It works and I'm living proof!

With love,
Kim
