Surgeon Testimonial

Dominick Artuso, M.D.
I first met Dr. Artuso about a year ago. He had done my cousin's bypass 6 years ago and she told me how wonderful he is. When I met him I knew he was the doctor for me. As I started the process for insurance approval his staff was right there for me. Explaining and helping every step of the way. I have nothing but good things to say about his staff, they're the best! After surgery I had a small anesthesia complication but Dr. Artuso was all over it. He came to see me everyday to make sure I was okay. He has a great bedside manner and you can tell he truly cares for his patients. He ended up keeping me in the hospital for an extra day and sending me home on Easter. Dr. Artuso came in early Easter morning to make sure I was released so I could be home with my 2 little boys and the rest of my family for Easter. I highly recommend Dr. Artuso not only for his surgical skills but for his caring bedside manner and for truly being there for his patients. Thank you Dr. Artuso for everything you have done for me!

5/14 - So Busy!
I know it's been a while since my last update, so here's what's new.
So far so good with everything. I feel great and have had no problems with anything. I'm down to a size 18 but those are getting big now also.
I've been really busy with the boys. They have a ton of things going on with school and little league, so that's what's been occupying my time the last few weeks.
I'm down to 222 lbs. according to my scale and have been at a stand still for about 3 days. I kind of expected another small stall sooner or later. I actually cleaned out some of my closet and ended up bringing them to a local consignment shop. I'm hoping to make a little something from those "tents." LOL
That's about it for now. So far so good!!!
This surgery was the best decision I've ever made.
