Surgeon Testimonial Peter Rantis, Jr., MD, FACS, FASCRS, FASMBS UPDATE: GOING WITH DR. RANTIS 1/10/2001 I have switched surgeons. I will be going with DR. RANTIS and the Weight for Life program. I have heard all sorts of fabulous things about him and his office is really cool!!! My appointment is a week from today - 1/17/2001. I can hardly wait!! UPDATE: 1/17/2001 I got bad news :-( yesterday that I had to reschedule my consultation appointment cuz the doctor was cancelling all his afternoon appointments for today. BOO HOO!!! So, I am now scheduled for Wed 1/24. Just a week's delay, but it feels like forever. UPDATE 1/25/2001 I had my appointment with Dr. Kane's office on Wed. It went very well :-) I am, of course, a "good candidate" for RNY. I met not with Dr. Kane but with Dr. Rantis. Dr. Rantis was very nice, took lots of time to explain the procedure to my husband, who accompanied me to the office. Dr. Rantis also did an excellent job of explaining the risks of surgery so that if I wasn't completely 1000% sure that I wanted to do this that I had an out. I appreciated that. He had a very caring nature. I give Dr. Rantis a 9 on a 0-10 scale!! UPDATE: 5/6/2001 I just had to say how fabulous DR RANTIS is. He has a wonderful, caring, heartfelt bedside manor. He is thorough. He is kind. He is patient. He is so very available whenever you need him. He saw me EVERY SINGLE DAY I was in the hospital, even on Easter! Some days I saw him twice. He is so incredibly dedicated. When I needed additional pain medication after surgery he didn't bat an eyelash & ordered it for me. Once I got home and I thought I had an infection at my surgical site he told me to come on in the office - even though it would be after his office hours were done at the EGV office. My scar looks fabulous - it is not thick like some I have seen. He must have a very steady hand. I cannot believe sometime how fortunate I am to have such a fantastic doctor. Dr Rantis, if you read this -- THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!! UPDATE: 3/5/2003 Dr Rantis preformed panni surgery on me 2/19/03. He did a fantastic job and reminded me why I love him so dearly! I really do recommend him to anyone looking to have WLS in the Chicagoland area. He is the BEST!!! Member Interests
kimgreenrn's Journey Click Here To View Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery. I have what is know as "hand to mouth" disease. I always have to be putting something in my mouth. I have been heavy since about 3rd grade, and just keep gaining weight every year. I am being treated for an episode of severe depression for the past year. I am very self-concious and have low self esteem. I would beat myself up after every failed diet.
