Julie Ellner

"UPDATE!! I am now 5 years post op Lap. gastric bypass. The review below was written nearly five years ago and I continue to stay in contact with Dr. Ellner. I speak at her lectures to potential patients and I still contact her yearly for my blood work and any questions I have. She is the best the industry has to offer and Im 100% certain of it! I am five years post op, have had two children and have STILL maintained a weight of 155 pounds. My total loss was 165 pounds and Ive kept it off for five years :) This suregeon is a God sent....and my friend :) Love you Dr. E!! My first impression of Dr. Ellner was in one word, Friend. I had my lap RNY surgery on 1/23/06 I am 19 days out and down 31 pounds. Dr. Ellner has been a friendly, professional and understanding "partner" from the day I attended her seminar. There are not many doctors of any kind who have her knowledge, technique or bed side manner. This is a woman in touch with the difficulties of the obese and although she is very thin obviously understands the struggles in her patients lives. She is empathetic, structured, a vital source of information and most of all an honestly caring and compassionate human being. When I woke up from surgery I dont remember a thing....except her being over my bed putting a teddy bear on my chest. I held that bear every day in the hospital and will treasure it, not because it is cute...but because it reminds me of the WOMAN WHO SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Jody Green"
