Surgeon Testimonial

Gregory Adams, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Adams was that the best interest of his patients is his top priority. I only had my consultation yesterday, but what made him different than the other doctors I have seen is he really makes sure that you know what you are getting into. I feel like he is very qualified at what he does, and I have 110% confidence in him. He is really personable, and he will do what he can to help you. During the consultation, he explained everything in detail, as to how the surgery is performed, the risks involved, and he even showed us the insturment they used to do this procedure. One thing that really stands out about him is that I live 4 hours away and I have to do my preop tests, and instead of me driving 4 hours again, he got in touch with a cardiolgist for me in Columbus, and called me himself to let me know about the physcian that he had referred me to. Not many doctors will call you personally, most doctors I know have "their people" call you. That really impressed me.
His office staff are just wonderful people, they really go out of their way to help you with insurance, preop tests, anything you need, and they are always nice and friendly.


I would rate Dr. Adams and his staff a 15 on a scale of 1-10 at this point of my journey.I have a long way to go yet, but my first impressions have been nothing but wonderful.

My Story

10/24/06

WELL  I'M TEN MONTHS OUT OF SURGERY,  AND I'M 120 POUNDS LIGHTER, AND A WHOLE LOT HAPPIER SINCE I HAD MY SURGERY.  I ALMOST DIED HAVING SURGERY, BUT THEN AGAIN, THAT IS A RISK YOU TAKE WITH THIS SURGERY.  I HAD COMPLICATIONS AND AN INFECTION, AND WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LAPROSCOPIC  SURGERY TURNED INTO AN OPEN RNY.  I WAS OUT OF COMMISION FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS, AND I HAD TO LET MY OPEN INSCISION HEAL FROM THE INSIDE OUT DUE TO AN INFECTION IN IT.

EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SURGERY 12/13/05 AND I HAD TO SPEND CHRISTMAS IN THE HOSPITAL ( ONE OF THE WORST THINGS IN THE WORLD!) DUE TO COMPLICATIONS, ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I HAVE MY LIFE BACK, I CAN WEAR NORMAL CLOTHES, I LOVE TO SHOP,  AND IM MORE OUTGOING THAN EVER AND I JUST LOVE LIFE.

I SEE OVEWEIGHT PEOPLE THAT  REMIND ME OF MYSELF, (THE WAY I USED TO BE) AND I JUST WANT TO RUN UUP TO THEM AND TELL THEM ABOUT WLS, BUT NOT EVERYONE IS OPEN TO DISCUSSION ABOUT IT,  I HATE THAT IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEIGHT THAT WAS STEALING MY HAPPINESS.  I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE IT MUCH SOONER.  LIFE IS JUST UNDESCRIBABLE WHEN THE EXCESS WEIGHT IS GONE. I CAN DO SO MUCH MORE AND I AM SO MUCH MORE HAPPIER. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME, AND I WILL ANSWER ANYTHING.
