Surgeon Testimonial

Peter C. LePort M.D.
Since I am pre-op I have only met Dr. Le Port once. He dropped by the support group to answer any concerns the group might have. He was professional yet projected a caring, warm attitude. He was willing to answer any and all questions to the fullest and stayed until all questions were exhausted. My husband and I both felt comfortable and I have selected Dr. Le Port as my surgeon.

His office staff reflects the attitude of Dr. Le Port. They are efficient and personable.

Best wishes to you on your surgery. You will do great!

I will be saying prayers for you on January 29th. Would love to see a picture of you sometime. It is so nice to put a name and face together. You are doing all your work to get there, the peace will come just before you have your surgery when you know it is the right thing to do. It is not easy, but it is so worthwhile. Hugs, Marti O

When my pre surgery meeting with Dr. LePort was scheduled it seemed so far away. However, looking back--time seems to have flown, and is just around the corner--next week, in fact. During the passing weeks I have been getting "cold feet". The complications that others are having is making me nervous. You see--I don't hate myself because I am so obese. In fact I rather like myself. If I had "my druthers" I wouldn't choose to be this size; however, the circumstances and choices of my life have placed me where I am today. Yesterday I was jolted back into reality when I came within a breath of falling and kissing the carpet yet again!!! When I fell twice in March and couldn't get up--and no one was able to help me get up--I decided that I might fall again but I would never be so heavy that I would end up on the front page of the paper. I could just see the headlines, "Wall removed from home to extricate super--super obese woman". I even had my husband promise to cover me before he called the paramedics! So--here I am today--nursing my fears but still knowing that I must take the risk. The thought of falling, breaking a bone or worse, and ending up in a nursing home makes the risks of the surgery bareable. I continue to pray for those experiencing complications and pray that I do not have to walk that path. I think they will understand...
