Surgeon Testimonial

Mahbod Mark Paya, M. D.
I have met with Dr. Paya two times, once for the consultation, and again for the seminar. I was immediately put at ease by his manner. He was very professional and caring at the same time. He explained the procedure, and let me know that he can help me.

He got my insurance to approve it, and before I knew it, I was called to schedule a surgery date.

Wendy, you have less than 24 hours left before you join the losers' side. Just wanted to tell you that I'm praying for you. That everything comes out great. Claudia

I am scheduled for a RNY gastric bypass on June 22. I'm looking forward to it, but not the pain! I keep reminding myself that the intense pain after surgery will be much better than the life-long pain from carrying around so much extra weight!
