Surgeon Testimonial John Yadegar My first impression was that he was very carring and respectful. In no way did I feel put down because of my obesity. I have certainly experienced this before with other Doctors. Over time I realized that he is a highly intelligent expert in this field and has been doing it for quite some time but that is not all he does. He cares for the whole patient. He is warm, personable and friendly. His office staff is awesome! Liz is the Nurse Coordinator and treats you like a long lost friend. She is my cheerleader and my encyclopedia of information. She is an expert! She is very compassionate. I can't think of anything I don't like about Dr. Yadegar or Liz! Future patients should know that they are awesome. They go out of their way to help you any way they can. Finally, a bariatric program in the High Desert! We no longer have to drive for hours to get surgery or the before and after care that we need! It's awesome! They emphasize aftercare strongly with lots of training & nutition classes. The aftercare program is very structured. There are follow up appointments and all kinds of suport if needed. The risks were explained very thoroughly, so were the risks of obesity. I would give them the highest rating possible! I have had an awesome experience and I know that I am in great and carring hands. Both their bedside manner and their surgical competence is awesome. Couldn't be better! He spends time and doesn't make you feel like he needs to rush on to the next patient...It's amazing really! Usually if you find an excellent surgeon he is an @#$%^&! So to find one that is both a skilled surgeon and a real carring person is almost a miracle! Latest Surgery Support Comments

Hi, my name is Laramie but you already know that...Let's see, where do I begin? Obesity runs in my family, so does diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes, and a variety of orthopedic problems. My siblings are all morbidly obese but refuse to do anything about it. My sister is now diabetic and my brother had heart bypass surgery before he turned 40! I on the other hand am fairly healthy {that is, if any obese person can be considered healthy!}. What I mean to say is that I have no co morbidities but I knew that it was only a matter of time! One can only temp fate for so long before it catches up to you. So I decided to have RNY done before everything went south. I got approved fairly easily, in fact my first appointment for my consultation with the surgeon was mid October and my surgery was November 14th! I'm still in shock about that. I was prepared for the long haul but there wasn't one. So here I am 45 years young, 5 feet 11 inches tall and melting away. Everythings been going pretty smoothly so far. Probably because I don't want to chance eating something that will make me dump so I've been really careful. I am so glad that I did this. My husband of over 25 years was very reluctant at first but after seeing the changes that are already taking place, he is really happy that I did it! And he is already reaping the rewards! Well, that's pretty much me in a nut shell... Laramie
