"I had Rue N Y surgery in 4-09, downtown Henry Ford. I moved to Warren, and decided I wanted to find a doc closer to home. I then found out I had a hernia, so I called the Henry Ford Hosp South Macomb and asked them to recommend a doc that has experience with Weight loss surgery. They gave me Doc Pesta. I went to see him about what I thought was a hernia fix. and he was very polite and understanding, to let me know that the hernia wasn't from the WLS. it was on my back. So I went home.. Laughing honestly.. the in Dec 2011, I went to the hosp. for gut pain. and found out that my gall bladder was the size of a baked potato. At first, due to my own stupidity, but I thought I had a valid reason. I refused surgery from Doc Pesta. He tried everything to explain to me that I needed this removed ASAP. with the size, and if anything broke off it, and got into the intestine with the WLS, how it would kill me and there was nothing he could do to fix it. I still refused. And you could see how upset he was, but he also understood. Well, long story short, hubby walked in, and I had surgery that day.! I was so SCARED!! I have never been afraid of surgery, but he honestly held my hand. and he never left my side until they had me out. And when I woke up, he was there.. He is the first doctor in a LONG time that truly cares!. I now have to have a revision done to the WLS, and he will be the only one to do it.!!!! I have found a doc that cares, and gave me his direct cell number, just incase I need him... He is truly Amazing.!!!"
