Surgeon Testimonial

Myur Srikanth
My first impression of Dr. Srikanth was not a positive one. I felt rushed and expected to absorb all this information. It didn't help that I had driven over two hours to get there and then to suffer from food poisoning! However, on our second meeting my opinion changed for the better. I consider him to be very professional, caring, encouraging, and funny. I have the most respect for him and have all the confidence in the world that I chose the right surgeon. Most of my contact with the office staff has been with Kaye and Marissa. Both are a tremendous asset to his office. They have provided me with more information and help than I could ever ask for!

Hi everyone! I am a married mom of three with two grandkids. I have been overweight all my life, but am at my heaviest now. I have lost all self-respect for myself and can't believe that I have allowed myself to get this way. I have been approved for my RNY and have a surgery date set for April 28th. I am very anxious and nervous! I sure can use some encouraging words from those who are or have been overweight.

I'm four weeks out today and have only lost 28 lbs! I have only lost a pound or two in the past couple of weeks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I just found out that my one night hospital stay cost $82,000!! That doesn't even include my surgeon's bill or the anesthestiologist! I can't imagine what could have possibly been so much as the room was only $950!!
