Surgeon Testimonial

Eliot Sieloff, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. S was a very good one. He's knowledgeable, kind, soft spoken and he makes sure you know everything you need to know. Him and his office staff are AMAZING!! They are very diligent and make sure you are taken care of. If a problem arises They are VERY good at taking care of it ASAP!! There's nothing I didn't/don't like about Dr. Sieloff. Future patients should know that he will do whatever it takes to take care of you and guide you through the process. He's realistic and he treats his patients like real people, he addresses the risks and assures you he and his team do everything to minimize those risks. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Sieloff and his staff, Jody his nurse is amazing and they are so in tune with their patients! He's not only a VERY competent Surgeon, but his bedside manner is amazing!

My Weight Loss Journey

Let the process begin!!

Hi everyone! This is my first blog on OH.com. I've been overweight most my life and at 27 I'm at my heaviest weight @ 435. A lot of it gained in the last five years. I never thought about WLS as an option untill it became the only option I had. Trying everything imaginable to lose weight and failing was getting really frustrating! I'm Bipolar so the medications I take keep me from losing the weight I want to lose. I gained over 100 lbs while on Depakote for two years. I'm finally off of it and I'm working out again. WLS has been in the back of my mind for a few years now and it wasn't until about a year ago that I really started looking at it as an option for me. Meeting someone who has gone through the surgery, lost all her weight and hearing about how happy she was with the results got me thinking more about it. She encouraged me to really start looking into it. Then Recently a close friend had bypass surgery and watching her journey has my mind made up that this is what I need to do. With LOTS of research and lots of going back and forth I decided that if I wanted to lose this extra weight I couldn't do it on my own because of a back injury and that bypass was the best option for me. So in May I got the ball rolling, went to a seminar, filled out the paperwork, then got a call to come to a nutritional consult/seminar that was today. It's becoming real and I'm excited about the process of changing my life for the better. I want to be healthy, I want to have kids, I want to be able to do what I used to do and not have to hide away at home because I can't do anything!! The next step is the phsyc evaluation and then the Dr's office writes my insurance company and gets the approval process going! It's a lot to take in, but i'm excited for the journey to come! Until next time!!
