"My first impression of Doctor Li was that she is a very likeable person and a competent surgeon who is serious about helping obese people. She was very clear about what was expected from me before the surgery, including how much weight she wanted me to lose. She had a packet of referrals for all of the pre-op testing stapled together, which was incredibly helpful, and she explained what each test was. As I was leaving her office she gave me a hug and said “Welcome to the program”. I am not a “huggy” person, however I took this as a reassurance of her sincerity as a Bariatric surgeon. rnrnFuture patients should know that she is very serious about the program, and if she tells you to lose 10 or 15 pounds before the surgery, she means it! It benefits you during surgery and it makes the surgery easier for her. Dr. Li is a big advocate of exercising as it aids your weight loss and provides wonderful health benefits after your surgery. The nutritional program is also wonderful and Dr. Li works closely with the nutritionist to provide an excellent aftercare program. Both of them go over blood test results separately, which makes me feel confident that nothing is being overlooked.rnrnShe always makes herself available for any questions you may have, whether you leave a phone message or send an e-mail. I highly recommend Dr. Li!rn"
"The hospital care was my only complaint. I felt like I was forgotten about several times and it took my husband to point out my swollen hand before the nurses removed the IV which had slipped from the vein (my hand looked like a lobster claw). I was confused about whether or not I was supposed to have a shake or something before I left the hospital, however I left without having a shake or anything other than water. "
