"I met Dr. Wagner before my surgery, and he was very knowledgable about all the bariatric proceedures, both modern and past. He knew about the proceedure my Aunt had done almost 20 years ago and talked to us indepth about all of them. He was very confident and very reassuring. I felt at ease the whole time we discussed my obesity problem and let me know that he would do everything in his power to help me get the tools I needed to overcome this disease.rnrnThe day of the surgery I was very scared and nervous. Again he put my mind to ease and was very calming. Even as I was in the operating room and they were getting me ready, he was there and told me not to worry, that he was confident about the proceedure. After the surgery he came in and checked on me periodically and was very concerned about my health and well being, as well as my comfort.rnrnHe was by far and away the best surgeon I could have ever hoped for. I wish more Doctors were like him in the medical field. He is not only my surgeon but a good friend now, and I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me.rnrnDoctor James Wagner.....Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget what you have done for me and I promise to do everything in my power to help promote the tools that can be given to help people like myself."
