"The first time I met Dr. Christou, he was very soft spoken and very knowledgeable about the procedure, RNY Gastric Bypass, and also I was infored by Dr. Christou that i was able to have the surgery Lapriscopically done, which is great. I hope that when it get closer to the srugery date I will have more info. But now I just want to be healthy. I had my surgery on July 19th and it was a full success, I am losing my weight slowly but I am losing, The staff during my surgery were really nice and they calmed me down, I was a basket sace before surgery, But now I am out 1 month and I feel much better, thanks to Dr. Christou and his wonderful OR Staff. I am learning new things about my self and eating a new way. ITs been a winding ride since but it has been a good way better than being 290lbs - now I am 260lbs and my BMI is 60.4, that is the best thing every.... THANK YOU DR CHRISTOU... for giving me my NEW LIFE...."
