"I had my original Weight Loss Surgery with Dr. Andrei in 2003. What impressed me most about him was that her required all his pre-surgical patients to attend his support group meetings. I was scared of the surgery, and yet desperate for it. I was 280 lbs, and feeling old at 50. When I walked into this huge ballroom where his support group meeting were, I was shocked to see what must have been hundreds of obese people. I had never seen so many fat people in one room. In the front of the room, were post surgical patients who spoke to the group. All these very thin people. They all looked so happy. One after the other they spoke of their experiences, both good and bad. I felt hope for the first time. There was such a long list of people waiting for the surgery. I had to wait almost a year for my surgery. It was well worth it. Dr. Andrei, I learned was fastidious in the OR, and demanded excellence from his staff. I was in good hands. The entire experience was positive. I was surrounded by friends who supported me all the way. Dr. Andrei has been supportive throughout my journey. I've had ups and downs, but he has always been there to help me find my way back. I am enjoying good health, and renewed success. I would recommend Dr. Andrei in a heartbeat. He is an award winning surgeon, and has been around for a while. I believe he paved the way for all the others. His staff is professional, and his nutritionist is pro-active and helpful."
