"I met with Dr. Champion yesterday(3/26/04) and he was exactly what I'd expected. I'd researched him almost as much as the surgery itself. He was very knowledgable, upfront, and more than well informed about overall statistics for the surgery as well as his own patients outcomes. He explained about complications that are possible and what he's seen in his own patients. He even admitted to having done three reversals on his own patients. He said he'd lost 3 patients out of the 1600 he has done the surgery on. I feel very confident in his abilities and can't wait to have him perform my LAP RNY.
POSTOP-Dr. Champion is just that..a CHAMPION. He has this surgery down to a fine art. He certainly lives up to his "one of the best in the nation" reputation."
"The size of this hospital was a huge plus as far as I'm concerned. It is in a small neighborhood type setting; but much better equipped than most for bariatric surgery."
"I had lipo done when I was much smaller than I am now. I can still fit into pants much easier than I could before surgery. However, I gain in strange places now. I did have a slight dent just above my left knee; however, he did offer to fix that if I wanted him to. I was wanting to wait until I'd lost weight first. "
