Surgeon Testimonial

David Lautz, M.D.
The surgeon was very professional. His office staff is great. His adminstrator is a little rough around the edges but knows her job and is alot a fun. The office staff overall are very nice and professional. The program is very well structured and focuses on presurgery and aftercare. They have a program that is focused on wholistic comprehsive care. They have a hotline manned by R.N.s and N.P.s
The surgery risks were explained at the information session which is required of all patients and at the initial consult. I was given many occasions to ask questions. They also gave extensive reading material both times.
I would rate him and the program excellent.

on October 8, 2007 12:41 pm
Well i have been sick with the flu for a little over a week now.. ..I have had some difficulty not eating crap . I do not know if it is my body or my brain that makes me crave Carbs IN A BIG WAY. I have been doing O.k. with my diet...but not great.....I have not been food shopping so my choices are limited......The good news is I have not gained back any weight.....I am actually down about 2 lbs.....I knew this would happen....I did not think I would continue to lose the way I was....BUT I REALLY WANT TO GET BACK TO THE GYM !!!  I have less than 1 month until I go to Florida...and I want to be 10 lbs lighter.....well I need to take a nap
