I have not met Dr. Perugini, but I am a paitent of the UMASS Weight Center. Dr. Kelly is my surgeon who is the surgical director of the program. I can't say enough positive things about my surgeon and the UMASS program. I must say I'm still in my honeymoon phase, but I love my RNY.  The care and attention they have given me has been wonderful!

I wish you the very best and keep us posted on your progress! If you have questions, let us know. Don't be a stranger.

Maybe I will see you at the monthly support group meeting!
