I am a young male, one year out after gastric bypass surgery, so far I lost 90 lb. Dieting and excercising never worked before I had my surgery. I have learned to manage what I eat and how much I eat with the support and help of Dr.Frantzides and his staff. I feel great.    Posted on 03/04/2010

I decided to have the surgery because I had sleep apnean, irregular heartbeat, and I was told by the doctor that I will have diabetes because of my weight. I attempted to loose weight for many years tipically using the atkins diet but always found myself loosing some and regaining, plus more. I would gain more weight with each rebund. Because of the irregular heatbeat and sleep apnea my personal doctor stressed that I needed to loose weight. Not being sucesfull loosing weigth on my own I upted for cosmetic surgery (lipo suction). Thant was not succesful . I consulted with my doctor again and after discussion he agreed that one of the options left was to have the gastric bypass surgery. My wife and I did the research as to who does more of this particular surgery. We came up... [Click here for more]

I had the gastric bypass. Dr. Frantzides was wonderful, the operation was fast, in and out. I lost 89 lb the first 6 months. The Dr. and his staff are super friendly, and very thorough. I have no regrets, I would do it 100 times again. There is not one single thing I regret.    Posted on 03/04/2010

I had my one year post op visit today with Dr. Frantzides. Thus far, I have lost about 100ibs. This surgery has changed my life. Having this surgery with Dr. F was the best choice that I ever made. He has been wonderful and supportive from the very first day that I stepped into the office and every day since then. I feel more confident than I ever have in my entire life and generally just feel better. If you are considering doing gastic bypass, there is no other surgeon that I would ever consider besides Dr. Frantzides.    Posted on 03/04/2010

2 years ago I weighed 250 lbs (5'9"), had high blood pressure, sleep apnea, acid reflux and no energy. I was miserable. I found Dr. Frantzides on Obesity Help. I got an appointment right away and he helped me decide which procedure was best for me. He took the time to explain the options and answer any questions. I knew I was in good hands. He performed my gastric bypass less than 2 weeks later. I lost 70 lbs the first year. I started excercising and lost an additional 10 lbs. I went from a size 20 to a size 12. I now weigh 165 lbs, have normal blood pressure, no more reflux, and tons of energy. I keep up with my kids, wear bathing suits on the beach, buy clothes in normal stores and love looking in the mirror again. I'm still excercising and can't imagine that ever changing. This...

I was always overwight, I had horrible sleep apnea,the worst asthma and I couldn't do any physical activities and I had enought. I was always self concous wondering if people were looking at my double chin or my love handles :) I was tired of being overwight and decided to do something about it. I found Dr. Frantzides, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He answered all my questions, and educated me about the different options of surgery. I decided on gastric bypass and it changed my life. A year later and 150 lb down I finally have a life. The sleep apnea and the horrible asthma are gone. I can fit on amuzement park rides, I can shop at regular stores, I can even eat without wondering if people are staring at me. I am now on my way to becoming a police officer and...

My surgeon - Dr. Frantzides - impressed me from the first visit. He spent over two hours with me answering all my questions, explaining the different types of surgery, etc. I was sold on him when I left the office. I was scared to do the operation, but I knew this was the doctor I wanted to do it. He was not in network with my insurance. The surgery was expensive, but I have no regrets. All of my subsequent visits have been the same relaxed, non-rushed visits. He insists that I ask questions and won't leave the office until he is satisfied I have no more. His staff is wonderful. My wife and I have called numerous times with questions and always gotten quick, detailed answers, interrupting the doctor if necessary. The doctor visited with me before and after the surgery and...

Dr Frantzides performed my RNY on June 3, 2003. I lost 130bs within the first year, and now 7 years later I have only gained 20lbs back and have stayed here for many years. Having Dr Frantzides do my RNY was the best thing I have ever done, and not a week goes by where I don't thank my deicion for having it done. He was and is brilliant!    Posted on 02/20/2010
