"I met Doctor Vitello on March 21,2001 at my first consultation,my first impression was that he was very straight forward and honest didn't sugar coated anything and even told me I could die from this surgery.I appreciated his honesty because that allowed me to make a well thought decision about going with the surgery. I had surgery june 11th 2001 everything went great ,minimal pain no complications.I really wish there was an after care program because I been having problems deciding what's good to eat and what isan't. But in generall doctor Vitello is the best I'll give him a 10. "
