From as far back as I can remember I have always had a weight problem. Up and Down. Up and down. Tried every diet under the sun. Cambridge, Slimfast, Pleenerfast, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Pills , Medically Supervised. Even had the Lap Band which was removed back in October(Slipped). Every time I put back on weight I was heavier than the time before. I now tip the scales at my heaviest and am fed up and tired. I am a single father of a 13 yr old boy who right now I can't even play sports with because I'm afraid I'll pass out. Finally came to realize the last resort and only way to save my life would be bypass surgery. I first made an appt. with one doctor; But then my PCP told me about Dr. Lester Cooperstone. I made an appt. and in the 1hr& with him for a consult I was convinced that he was going to do the surgery. His patience, honesty, and bedside manner was incredible. His office staff is also just as wonderful. I have now gotten all my tests completed and am waiting for insurance approval and hopefully the surgery will be within a month. This time it's for life!
