"Just wanted to post an update. I posted back in September 2006 before surgery. I could not be any happier than I am today. Dr. Ludwig and his staff are amazing. They are thorough, compassionate, and very knowledgable. I love the fact that they take an active interest in their patients on going success with their involvement in a local support group. I love how excited they get when they see you again and see your progress. rnI especially loved it when they said they would not have known who I was if they had not looked at my before picture. I would recommend anyone I know who is looking for a weight loss surgeon to contact Deron Ludwig. They would not be disappointed. He is truly a great surgeon and man. He and Kathy have changed my life for the best. Bless you Dr. Ludwig and Kathy. You are angels."
