Surgeon Testimonial

Bruce Applebaum, M.D.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Applebaum. He was very informative as well as friendly to both my husband and I. It was easy to trust in his knowledge and he did a great job. His aftercare was also more then I expected. As his patient he made me his priority and that made it much easier. His staff is also very friendly and help you through the tough times. Thumbs up all the way for Dr. Applebaum and his staff!!!!!!

For the first time in my life I was scared and faced the reality that my weight was out of control.  I knew I could lose 30-50 pounds on my own, but I also knew I would gain back 60. 
     
So, after a ot of research and talking with my husand I decided to have wls.  I admit it was a hard decision, I wasns't afraid of how my body would change, but
