Surgeon Testimonial

Constantine Frantzides, MD, PHD, FACS
One Year Ago - On November 23, 2010 Dr. Frantzides did my Laparoscopic RNY. I was 298 lb..Today I am 185 pounds. I lost the total of 113 pounds. I went from size 26W (pants) to 12 and 1X (shirts) to S.
My life before this surgery was going only in one direction - the grave. I was 29 years old and so severly obese that some nights I was scared to fall asleep. I was miserable and depressed and I felt like my life was going to hell.
Dr. Frantzides changed that. He gave me something no words can explain. He gave me this feeling of freedom and re-birth. I am a new person now, seriously. I have sooo much energy, so much motivation, my spirit is back, my smile, my thirst for life.
All of you people out there, that are sitting on the couches and dont know if surgery is the right way - dont hesitate. Dont waste time. Surgery is the right way, but only if you have the right Dr. and if you are reading this, you have found him. I am the living proof that he exists. Happy Holidays.

5 Months Post-op and 78 Pounds Gone :)
posted on 4/23/10 9:41 am
Hi Everyone,

Today is my 5 months annyversary since my Doctor saved my life!. Thank you Dr. Frantzides!. I am down 78 pounds as of this morning. Down from 298lbs to 220lbs for 5 months... Can you believe this? And the most amazing feeling is the way I feel. I have so much energy I dont know what to do with myself. Like, the other weekend me and my husband went on a 8 mile hike and after we came home he crashed ( and he is skinny minny) and I cleaned the house for 4 hours.. Thats 12 hours of straight up exercise and I didnt get tired... Whos that girl? I dont know! :) I love my new me and I love my life... I love how I dont stuff myself with garbage anymore and I love how I can walk into the store to buy only salad and come only with salad..My husband cant believe this... I prefer grilled over fried anyday now and fruit over cookies anyday... I love it, love it, love it.. Getting this surgery was one of the best thing so far I have done for myself..and getting it with the best Dr. in the world was the best decision I could have made...I am so thankful that he kept me healthy and with no complications... and the weight is just the added bonus :)
