Surgeon TestimonialErik Wilson, M.D.I first met Dr. Wilson on March 29, 2005. At that time I weighed 658 lbs and was bedridden. He and his staff were very curteous and helpful, but he explained to me that it was simply too dangerous for me to have surgery at that point. He said that I needed to get below 500 lbs. and regain mobility before it would be safe enough to operate. He perscribed an Optifast diet, which was approximately 1500 calories a day. I did use Optifast for awhile, but eventually moved to real food and counting calories, also at 1500 calories a day.
The next time I saw Dr. Wilson was at the mandatory informational meeting, which I believe that I went to in February 2006. By that point I was under 500 lbs. and still losing. He recognized me and seemed genuinely delighted to see me. (I doubt he thought he would ever see me again.)
He did my Lap RNY on May 22, 2006 and I have done beautifully. I have had no complications whatsoever. I could not be more pleased with Dr. Wilson and I would recommend him to anyone looking into WLS. Latest Surgery Support Comments

Hi, Kaycee here. I
am home!!! Things
have gone very, very
well. My sis has
kept you pretty well
updated, but I do
want to thank
everyone for their
support and their
prayers. Everyone
has been just amazed
at how well I have
done. God is so
good!!! It just
seems so unreal to
me that it is over
and done with. Even
when I look at my
tummy I only have 6
tiny incisions. One
about 2 inches, the
rest an inch or
less. Not even any
stitches or staples
- they super glued
me shut. lol! It is
hard to realize that
my innards have been
rearranged. I am
just so happy and
thankful that it is
over and I have done
so well, I am SO
ready to take my
place on the losing
side!!!!!
