Dana Portenier

"To say that I was impressed with Dr. Portenier was an understatement. He seemed very informative and knowledgeable. He explained the surgery and risks in layman's terms and I felt that anyone would have gotten a good comraderie kind of vibe, knowing that you were putting your life in this surgeon's hands. And by the way, very skillful looking hands if I do say so myself. I somehow got the impression that he was wondering why I wanted to have the surgery. I've always been one who was 'solid' and didn't 'look my weight'. (lol) But tell that to all of my prescription drugs. I also got the impression that he was impressed with my knowledge of the surgery. Some of the information that he shared with me...I sounded like a rapper, I finished his sentence with him. I just hope that he didn't think that I was a smart *zz, even though I thoroughly did my research. The staff at the center have always been very helpful and actually I didn't feel as if they were official...felt like we were some 'down girlfriends and laughed al lot. Actually I am going to miss bugging them 2-3 times a week. Anyone would be very fortunate to be a candidate at Duke Weight Loss Center. Need I say more? (smile) "
