Surgeon Testimonial

Demesvar A. Jean-Baptiste M.D.
Dr. Jean-Baptiste is a caring, competant and patient doctor. His credentials are amazing, he trained at the top schools and had a fellowship in advanced bariatric and laparscopic surgery at UPenn so he is up on all the latest techniques! I haven't found a more thorough surgeon...all the tests he puts you through are because he wants no surprises. He makes an effort to know all his patients by first name and in a short time has built his center to be extremely comprehensive, adding experienced staff and experts to help all his patients. He even has a bariatric post-op nurse on staff now! His support groups are well attended and he has a 100% success rating from all the surgeries he has performed. Now that I am a post-op I can tell you this, that Dr. J-B is a gifted, skilled and talented surgeon. In addition, he is a compassionate and comforting with a wonderful bedside manner. It is rare to find someone with so many great qualities all wrapped into one package! I am so glad I found such a talented, smart surgeon, and I am confident that we have forged a life long relationship! I feel wonderful and it's all because he did a great job! Kudos to Dr. J-B and his entire surgical & office team!

2 Year Surgiversary!
on December 3, 2008 7:18 pm
November 9th was my 2 year surgiversary! It was a glorious day that was celebrated with several of my new bariatric friends who have become very dear to me. We feasted at an Asian Fusion Restaurant and shared 3 dishes for 5 of us...then we went out for fancy coffee at a local coffee house.

At my 2 year post op appt., I was 8 lbs more than a year ago post op and the same weight since my 18 month post op visit to the surgeon. My vitamin D levels are low - something I will address with my endocrinologist.

I feel great and still love my new body and my wardrobe...I've really become a compulsive shopper...my favorite store is Chico's...and I love Soma for bras and shapers!

I spend about 5 days a week at the gym because I can eat more often and I want to be able to maintain the weight without depriving myself of the foods I enjoy.
