"I had my first appointment with Dr. Hess and his team in May of 2010., I was very pleased to find out how thorough the whole team was...I was/am very pleased with the outcome of my first visit and all of the information that was given to me regarding the whole process from beginning to end i.e., possible complications, long term outcome, pre/post operative diet and most important group sessions with Tony, from the first day of meeting with both Dr. Hess and Tony I felt more at ease regarding the surgery. I am also very pleased with my Nutritionist Ms Gallager and Dietitian Ms Apovian the whole team is in sync with my personal needs and consult with each other as well as give the best possible solutions for your diet health i.e., portion size, food/drink consumption amounts, and or possible substitutions..."this is great" because most of us need to know exactly how much of what to take and or eat by actually seeing the size/amount to be taken..like for example they explained that after the surgery we need at least 50 to 60 grams of Protein daily,abviously the more the better and you ask yourself well how much is that exactly..well they actually show you...and say if you eat this and that and this many times a day that will take care of your Protein intake for the day....lol I am confident in Dr Hess and his team to do right by me during surgery and to help me do right by myself after surgery....Although I am still a bit jittery about the "actual day the surgery is done" I am at eas and confident in the fact that Dr. Hess will do a great Job. I will Keep you posted in my progress. "I have faith and love in my God, he is a loving and generous God, my life is in his hands and he will see me through this just fine""
