"My name is Debra Spencer, I had gastric Bypass surgery on April 17, 2006.rnI went from 336 pounds to 155 pounds in 11 months, that's a total of 183 pounds GONE FOREVER!!! I went from wearing 4X's & 5X's to now wearing a size 8! Life is good and it's all thanks to this wonderful man by the name of Dr. Paul Ross!rnrnDr. Ross was very thorough at the Community Lecture answering any and all questions that we all had. He covered all aspects of the surgery including the good along with the risk. Dr. Ross program is also one of only a few that has the \"Center of Excellent\" rating in South Carolina.rnrnHis staff is absolutely the best! Especially Angie, who's patience and assistance during the insurance approval period will never be forgotten she is truly Angie the office Angel!rnrnThe aftercare program Dr. Ross has in place is absolutely top of the line. Dr. Ross and his staff continue to tell you throughout everything that the surgery is a tool not a cure. rnrnHis coordination staff, Dianne and Norma, oversee a mandatory monthly support group meeting that is always educational, sometimes funny and always inspiring. Dianne & Norma are THE BEST!rnrnI know I was sent to Dr. Paul Ross by God Himself, I just know I was, and the fact that Dr. Ross is a good Christian man that truly cares about his patients just sealed it for me. He treats you like he would if you were his wife or mother, isn't that how we would love all our Doctors to treat us?rnrnIn my talk with him before my surgery I asked him if he would pray for me before I was put to sleep, He said he would be honored to, so as the nurse was starting my IV he was holding my hand a saying a sweet prayer for me, him praying for me was the last thing I was hearing as I drifted off to sleep, this meant a lot to me. rnThe surgery went GREAT! rnrnWLS is truly Dr. Ross calling or ministry because he was a vascular surgeon before he started doing weight loss surgery. He told me about doing surgery on a lot of obese people due to problems from being obese, so he decided to go into doing WLS because he wanted to help obese people to have a better life. What a heart, what a man! rnThank you Dr. Ross for giving me a new lease on life.rnI told Dr. Ross at my one year check up that the men in my life were rated like this ~ God first, Next my wonderful husband, my son, and then Dr. Ross.rnI could go on and on, because my life has been changed forever due to this surgery.rnThank you Dr. Ross and may God always bless you and your family.rnrnI Love you dearly my Doctor, my friend,rnrnDebrarn"
