Surgeon Testimonial

Michael A. Schweitzer M.D.
I met with Dr S and I have nothing but good things to say about the doctor and his staff. They were all very nice. Dr, S struck me as being the most experienced in his field, and I trust him fully. His secretary Debbie is wonderful to deal with, and I am looking forward to the day when I am free of this weight.

I had a very small problem and I commend my doctor and his staff for prompt attention and the care they gave to me. I am so glad I selected Dr Schweitzer for my doc, I think he is the greatest.

You have proceeded to go and can collect all of the benefits. In this case losing is winning. I would hate to read this out loud. It is confusing to write. But after surgery when you can read, and understand it you will know you don't need pain killers any more. Keep us posted, I am about a week behind you.

It's now 15 months
now it's 15 months since my surgery and my how time does fly. I will never forget all the support I received from our online support group. Everyone was such an inspiration. After my surgery I wondered if I had done the right thing. I sure did the right thing, I feel better today than I have in 20 years. My health is about 500% better and I look and feel thin. My total weight loss is 95 pounds and I lost 97% of my excess weight. PC doc said enough already and I have been the same weight for over 3 months. I'm very happy and I would do it all again. If you are thinking about the surgery, do your research and make an informed decision. I did and I'm only sorrry I waited so long to go for it.
