Surgeon Testimonial Wayne Weiss, M.D. I first met Dr. Weiss laying on a table in pre-op waiting for him to perform an EGD on me prior to surgery. He came in and introduced himself and my first impression was how kind and yet professional he was. Over time my impression of him has grown even more. His office and hospital staff are knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. He has the highest of standards in care and yet is able to balance these standards with warmth and compassion towards his patients. Prior to surgery he addressed the surgical risks with me completely and fully prepared me for life after RNY. He took time in appointments to talk to me and answer my questions without making me feel rushed or confused. He showed interest for even my simplest questions and never made me feel ignorant for asking or like I was imposing on his time. He places a high emphasis on an aftercare program and his office offers lifetime structured support for patients. Overall I would say Dr. Weiss is the best! His surgical competence and bedside manner are fantastic and I am very proud to be his patient! Member Interests

Hello! My name is Olivia Pei and I am 36 years old. I had gastric bypass surgery in February of 2009 and I am excited to make friends who also have had the surgery. I also am excited to both give and receive support.
My Story I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I had a few years when I was not overweight in my late teens and early twenties. However, to keep this figure I had to engage in very restrictive and unhealthy behavior. The moment I would eat normally, even to diet, I would gain the weight back and more. When I was 28 I was diagnosed with a metabolic disorder. For a short time medication helped and I started to lose weight. However, after a few years my body developed a tolerance to the medication and I started gaining weight again. I spent several more years dieting, to no avail. I finally decided to have gastric bypass surgery in order to lose the weight and improve my health and self esteem. |

I am a about 5 1/2 months out from surgery and feeling great! I have lost over 70 pounds and have resumed pretty normal activity. I am sooooooo happy I had this surgery. Losing is slower now I am getting closer to my goal of 155 but I am trying not to focus on the scale but rather how I look and feel. Even if I don't lose another pound I am glad I had this. I can now shop in regular stores, as opposed to plus size stores, and people comment about how I look and how much more confidence I have.
