Peter Crookes
"Just this morning (8/21/2000) I scheduled an initial appointment with Dr. Crookes to schedule a revision. His first available opening is mid-January 2001. I think he's worth the wait.rnrnI met with Dr. Peter Crookes on January 17th -- and he was well worth the wait! He answered all my questions (although most of my questions had already been answered by my research on this website and its links!)rnrnHe recommended the Duodenal Switch procedure for me, but cautioned me that the surgery would be complicated by the fact that I had already had one weight-loss surgery plus gall bladder surgery and a hysterectomy! He insists on an endoscopy first to visualize what was done in the last surgery. We are looking at May 9th if all goes well!rnrnWell, I've had the endoscopy, the lab work, a pulmonary function test, and the first part of a cardiac stress test. The other half of the stress test - my last pre-op test - is tomorrow (4/19/2001). Then it's on to the surgery still scheduled for May 9th.rnrnIt's June 9th - one month after surgery. The surgery was a breeze, and one month later I'm down 35 pounds, and off most of my medications! Dr. Crookes is a warm and gentle man, with an Irish accent, and a great sense of humor. Most important? He truly believes in what he does!"
