"I started my weight loss journey miles away from Dr Westmoreland with another surgeon. Something didn't feel right with the surgeon I was seeing. After researching Dr Westmoreland, I attended a seminar and knew he was the one that I would choose. On the day of the surgery my parents drove me to the hospital. My stepfather, while he was supportive questioned my choice of hospitals due to the distance from home. I said "It's the surgeon, he was an obvious choice". As my parents set on the couch in the pre-op room, Dr Westmoreland entered the room. He asked me if I was sure I wanted to do the procedure twice. I replied "I'm all in". Then he spoke the most beautiful bedside prayer I've ever heard. I looked up and my stepfather (27 years in the military was in tears). He said that's the first time in my life I've seen a doctor pray with a patient. I looked at my stepfather and he replied "I see you why you choose him". Oddly enough, I don't feel like I choose him, God did. Surgery was a breeze and I'm 3 weeks into recovery and doing great. Dr. Westmorelands office has been in contact with me several times not including the follow up visit. If you're considering this surgery I highly recommend at least attending one of Dr. Westmoreland's seminars. He is an amazingly grounded caring surgeon!"
