I'M 46,HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD SON WHO I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS WITH AND NOT BE OLD BEFORE MY TIME DUE TO MY OBESITY.OUTSIDE OF HAVING HAD VERY BAD BRONCHITIUS ALL WINTER I HAVE BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH. HOWEVER, NOW AT 350 LB. MY LEGS AND FEET ARE GIVING ME SEVERE PROBLEM AND I AM IN PAIN DAILY MY MIDDAY LIMITING MY ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH MANY TASKS. I HAVE TRIED ALMOST EVERY DIET AT LEAST ONCE LOSING AND REGAINING. THIS PROCEDURE IS MY LAST AND BEST CHANCE FOR LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE.

Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Anthony Celifarco, M.D.
I SCHEDULED TO SEE AND USE CERABONA. HOWEVER, ON THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT WHICH WAS 2 MONTHS AFTER I SCHEDULED IT, THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND THE DOCTOR HAD TO LEAVE THE OFFICE JUST AFTER I GOT THERE. I COULD RESCHEDULE, WAIT 2-3 HOURS UNTIL AFTER HIS EMERGENCY OR SEE HIS ASSOCIATE DR. ARTUSO. I SAW DR. ARTUSO AND HE HAS BEEN MY DOCTOR SINCE. THE TEAM - DRS. CERABONA,ARTUSO AND TEIXEIRA PERFORMED MY SURGERY. THEY DID A LAP PROXIMAL ROU EN Y PLUS THEY REMOVED MY GALL BLADDER ALSO LAP. I WAS ON THE OPERATING TABLE ABOUT 6 HOURS. ARTUSO HAS BEEN A GREAT SURGEON. HE WAS VERY REAL ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE COULD BE'S OF COMPLICATIONS AND VERY POSSITIVE ABOUT THINGS GOING WELL. HIS POST OP ATTENTION IN THE HOSPITAL WAS GOOD AND FOLLOW UP VISITS HAS BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH ME AND VERY SUPPORTIVE. I AM JUST THANKFUL FOR ALL THE SIGHTS I WENT TO BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY SINCE THEY DON'T GIVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF WHAT AND HOW TO EAT POST OP. WHAT I FOUND ON THE NET WAS MUCH MORE HELPFUL.
