Dr. Frantzides was wonderful, very friendly from the minute I met him, very honest, made me feel very comfortable and I am thankful for saving my life. I am 8 days after the surgery and I lost 16 pounds.

I was always overwight, I had horrible sleep apnea,the worst asthma and I couldn't do any physical activities and I had enought. I was always self concous wondering if people were looking at my double chin or my love handles :) I was tired of being overwight and decided to do something about it. I found Dr. Frantzides, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He answered all my questions, and educated me about the different options of surgery. I decided on gastric bypass and it changed my life. A year later and 150 lb down I finally have a life. The sleep apnea and the horrible asthma are gone. I can fit on amuzement park rides, I can shop at regular stores, I can even eat without wondering if people are staring at me. I am now on my way to becoming a police officer and I know that it was not a possibility one year ago. I can't thank Dr. Frantzides enough, he is truly an angel in disquise.

It has been 18 months since my surgery and everything is going great. Every aspect of my life has improved for the better. I have become more social and more active. I am genuinely happy with my life at this point. I have lost 150 pounds since the day of my surgery. And there are still more pounds to be lost. My outlook on life has improved ten fold. When i first decided to get this surgery done, it was avery dificult decision. But it turned out to be the best decision i have ever made and i would like to thank Dr. Frantzides and his staff for everything they have done for me. He is truely the best.

It's been 6 months since my surgery, so far I have lost 80 lb and I am very happy with the way things are going. I am much more moble and able to do things. It was a good decision to have the surgery. I appreciate Dr. Frantzides's office. Dr. Frantzides and Dr. Glover have been wonderfull as well as Jerri and Teresa. You can always call the office and get answers. It's good to be looking back.

One year after surgery I have lost 100 pounds and thanks to the surgery I don't plan on finding it!

Thank you to Dr. Frantzides and your knowledgeable and friendly staff for all the assistance in starting my new life and outlook!

I am a young male, one year out after gastric bypass surgery, so far I lost 90 lb. Dieting and excercising never worked before I had my surgery. I have learned to manage what I eat and how much I eat with the support and help of Dr.Frantzides and his staff. I feel great.
