Surgeon Testimonial

Ronald B. Spier M.D.
Dr. Spier and his staff are great, they are very friendly. I first met them back in November when I had my consultation. They explained everything well, and made sure I knew they were always available if I had any questions. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Stephanie, I wish you the best of luck in your recovery, Dr. Spiers was great with my procedure. I'm two and 1/2 weeks out and feeling great. Maybe when I come up for my follow-up we can get a chance to meet. If you have any questions on the do's and don't's, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll keep you in my prayers for a fast and speedy recovery like myself.

Been busy trying to move to a new house. I've started Zumba, water aerobics and weight lifting. I'm down to 269 from 388! -119 lbs! I'm working out 6 days a week at the YMCA. Watching what I eat a little better. Gonna be ready for the summer, I want to go ride some roller coasters so bad! I'm down from a 34-36 to a 24-26. I can fit into booths and chairs without worrying. I started the Biggest Loser at our YMCA. I even had to run. Come on now, I don't run! Oh yeah, My BMI (49 from 71) says I've went from Super Morbidly Obese to Extremely Obese. YES!

My Story

Well, you know the story.... I have been overweight my whole life. I don't ever remember being small. I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children. I have gained about 120 lbs extra since I was pregnant the first time. I was already overweight then. I am waiting now to see if my insurance will cover the surgery or not. If not, I will be planning to have it done in Mexico, with Dr. Alejandro Aguirre. I have to pay cash, I don't have great credit, so I can't finance. They have the best price so far, and I've heard great things about him after doing some research. Well, pray for me, I really want to have the gastric bypass. I have about 220lbs to lose.
