Obesity Advocates: Thank You For Your Support!
We would like to say thank you to the Bariatric Professionals who are currently sponsoring our ObesityHelp community and advocacy outreach missions. Each month, we will feature a few of our sponsors. Please join us in thanking the following professionals for their commitment to supporting the fight against obesity and the issues that matter most to you.
Andres Castellanos, MD, FACS

Contributing sponsor since August 2011!
"Dr. Castellanos not only specializes in this field because his heart is in it, but he is a perfectionist with his surgical technique. This isn't just my opinion, but the opinion of the hospital staff and X-ray technician who commented that he always does a "pretty pouch". He is confident that obesity is an addiction and treats it as such. Doesn't sugar coat anything, but is also sensitive and patient. Can't say enough good things. Only problem now is he is becoming so popular that he may be difficult to schedule with without a wait." -Honey_B

"Dr. Opie is fantastic, his staff have been absolutely wonderful. The Olathe Hospital Staff (Brenda, Karen, all others) were absolutely wonderful in my care. You can tell these people really care about what they do. They went out of their way to make sure I was always comfortable though out the entire procedure and recovery. Ms. Lindsay can take a bow, she has been absolutely wonderful in making sure I was on the right track and complying with all of the requirements and procedures at all times, many thanks to Lindsay for all of her help."-K0RU

"Dr. Michaelson was very informative about nutrition and post operative care, as well as being very thorough with the whole surgery process. He took the time to address concerns and calmed anxieties with his easy going demeanor. The way in which he takes time to get to know his patients on a case by case basis is phenomenal. He applauds all efforts and takes great pride in his work. The great thing about NWWLS is about 98% of all employees are band patients as well and they understand exactly what you will/are going through and they are very outgoing with information. They constantly recognize your achievements. The support groups they offer and an online group ensures continued success well after the surgery takes place.-

"My primary doctor referred me to Dr. Yurcisin - and the Obesity Help website and the hospital affiliation. Dr. Yurcisin's knowledge and expertise, the entire team at the office and the comprehensive services offered at the office - and the total comfort are just a few of the reasons I stayed with GSBWC. I had surgery on April 25th 2011 - and 14 days post surgery - I felt lighter and lost 20 lbs! In the beginning right after surgery, I was in the bathroom 24/7. I was feeling depressed and wondered if I had made the right decision. I talked with some of my support group friends and realized this was natural. Support IS important. I continue to stay with these amazing group of people at GSBWC to continue this changing life adventure!"-

"As a bariatric surgeon, I understand how critically important it is for bariatric patients to receive support both pre-operatively and post-operatively. I am happy to support ObesityHelp because I believe it is a great forum and community for people to connect with and get support from others who are on the same journey to a healthier life."
