"May 6, 2002-What can I say. Dr. Garner is abosolutely THE BEST surgeon for this surgery. I had my surgery on 5/2/02 and am now back home. I am extremely pleased with how the operation went and his truly caring approach to me as a patient. He took the time to answer any and all of my questions (and I ALWAYS have questions for him). He alleviated alot of my fears both before and after the surgery. I could go on and on. Dr. Charles Garner is fantastic! Would highly recommend Dr. Garner to anyone in the Myrtle Beach/Conway/Georgetown area. Why go to Charleston or further for the surgery when you have the absolute best right here!!
I am extremely pleased with his approach to the before and after care, the nutritional advice given, and his support. He takes this surgery seriously and makes every attempt to ensure that the patient is aware of their decision and that it is a life-altering surgery. It is not meant for cosmetic reasons. Like I said, I could go on and on about Dr. Garner and his staff. The best around!!
Pre-op: I have had four prior surgeries performed by Dr. Garner since October 2000. The gastric bypass will be my fifth. Very professional and very personable! His office staff is the best there is!! Brian, the administrator, knows how to make the paperwork flow the easiest way. Brian is a truly blessing and a lifesaver. Thanks Brian!!
April 12, 2003 - YEAH!!!!! I recently went in for a 3 month check up. I am officially in the CENTURY CLUB now. I started out at 269.5 and am now 165.4. That is a loss of 104.5 in a little over 11 months. I have gone from six medications a day to one. That is Synthroid, and I will be on that one for the rest of my life--but I can live with that."
