Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Nizzi, D.O.
I instantly felt at ease when as soon as I entered Grand Traverse Surgery. Everyone is so pleasant, the nurses were friendly.... Mary Kay (bariatric coordinator) is a sweetie and was very informative. Angie that made all my appts for pre-op testing, who was also the first one to have bariatric surgery there in TC, was more then willing to discuss her personal story with me and that meant alot. Dr. Nizzi is great ! I had been wishy washy about which surgery to have, LapBand or RNY and by the time he got done going through the surgery processes for both, I knew without a doubt RNY would be the best. He isn't afraid to put it out there and is out to strive for 100% excess weight loss for his patients. From my experience with Dr. Nizzi and GT Surgery thus far, it has been a very pleasant one and I would recommend them !

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

More testing ! I had a complete PFT today? Basically to see if my lungs were functioning normally, etc. I passed with flying colors !  Now I have to take the results with me to the sleep Dr. next week and discuss things with him to decide if I need to have a sleep apnea test done. After my lung test I had my stress test. They were to do the IV one, well the nurse comes in and says there is no reason why you can't walk on the treadmill, I said your right but this is what my Dr. ordered. Well she called him up and said things changed you'll be on the treadmill, in the meantime we'll be the ultrasound of your heart. The lady was so sweet and she kept commenting on how great my heart looked. I said we'll see what your saying after the treadmill LOL Well wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be but boy oh boy was I exhausted ! But thankfully my heart looks great ! The sweet lady that did the test and the cardiologist that was there both said my heart looks terrific. So I guess I am headed in the right direction ! I'm so excited ! I hope now that all my tests are coming back good that they will be able to schedule my surgery very soon ! !
