"I give dr Frantzides 5 star, and I give myself 5 star ,that I found him and decided to take my husband Dave to have gastric bypass done by dr Frantzides. My old friend Ned had surgery done by doctor Frantzides around 10 years ago and he was always telling me ,that the best thing he ever done for his heath is bariatric surgery. When my husband and I decided to do something with his weight , while he is still healthy (he has strong family history of diabetes, blood pressure), we decided to find this miracle doctor ,that our71 year old friend could recall the name of.
At age 45 my husbands weight elevated to 345 pounds. We couldn't wait any longer. I started looking on line for "Greek", "Bariatric" ,"Rush" and found him. Printed the picture and showed to my friend. It was him! Little older then 10 years ago , but it was him! Without waiting any longer I scheduled the appointment. To tell you the truth my husband was hesitating about surgery. Despite his weight ,he didn't feel bad ,was relatively active and never had a physical from age 16. He later admitted that it was much harder for him to move around fast and go up and down the stairs, then 5 years ago. Blood work we had at my work for health program screening showed that he had very high triglycerides , high holesterol and BMI was over 40. I knew it was only matter of time for him to develop high blood pressure and diabetes ,I feared the most. I convinced him to do it .
We scheduled the surgery with doctor Frantzides. Dr Frantzides did the surgery laparoscopically . Next day we were out of the Hospital. 2 days later he went to check on his work. 11 days after surgery he is 311 pounds. He lost 34 pounds! The surgery was ultimate success. Dr Frantzides is talented, exceptionally knowledgable doctor . His work is his life, he has abundance of experience. As a medical professional,I took responsibility for my husbands surgery and I didn't have the right to make mistake. I am so happy I chose dr Frantzides! He saved my husbands life, he also saved my life .How do I know it? I see perpetual smile on my husbands face."
