"I met Dr. Lirio on the 9th of June. He seems to me to be very thorough. I went to a group meeting with four others and Dr. Lirio went over the entire process of the surgery and what to expect before and after. He explained about water and when to drink it and when to eat. I went to his Monday support group also on the 7th, and met many many people who are very happy wtih his methods and his mannerisms. I, too, feel that I am going to be quite happy with him as my surgeon. He seems very kind and even has a sense of humor which I saw at the Monday meeting. "
