Surgeon Testimonial

Stephan Myers, M.D.
From the start I could tell he was someone who really cared about his patients. He made a point to introduce himself to everyone in the room before the seminar started. He walked around and offered us water bottles. During my appointment with him I felt that he was very thorough and interested in the specifics of my health situation.

The before and aftercare programs seem very comprehensive. I don't think I've heard of any others that are this well rounded.

We talked about the risks and he wanted to work with my rheumatologist to address issues related to my RA and how the WLS would impact things.

Overall, I'm going into this rating him as a 10!
................................................
Post Op 5 days - he still gets a 10!
...............................................
3 months post op - still happy with him! And so is my PCP. Today she said he is the ONLY bariatric surgeon in her experience who sends follow up letters to keep the PCP informed. She was very impressed with my success and the program. She's been referring people to Fresh Start and Dr. Myers!

    Oh you must be so excited, maybe a little frightened, but more excited. Don't forget a ball cap or pony tail holder for when you don't want do anything with your hair. Take books to read if you don't have company, everytime I watch TV at Riverside they showed Wendy's commericals and I wanted the FOOD. Have the nurses show you where the pop cyclies (misspelled) are kept, I didn't like hardly anything on the tray they delievered me for four days. It was more mental than physical hunger, but I HAD IT BAD. The only day I regretted my decision was about seven days after the surgery and I was really sore and I asked myself - WHY, what have you done. Now I know what I have done. I have done the smartest thing for my self, taken back control of my life. I can't wait to see you at group on Feb 16. Good luck, may God guide Dr. Meyers hands tomorrow. Sami Sue
