Dyer MD Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center

Dr Dyer, his staff, the staff of Centennial from the time you think about surgery until far beyond the completion of your surgery will make sure you are educated, comfortable and feeling great about yourself. Dr. Dyer is very straight forward and will not beat around the bush about important information. Everything about his program is structured and if you have a question about anything and I mean anything it will be answered. I am 21 and weighed 667 before surgery and a month after surgery I weighed 570... not just because of weight loss but because of a structured and complete before and aftercare process including proper diets and medicine and exercise regiment which is all supplied and overseen by Dr. Dyer and the wonderful staff. There are really no negative comments I can make, I had a hard time with one or two nurses during aftercare in my first week but I had not one problem out of the staff at the Tace building!

HE DID THE SURGERY ON MY SISTER 7 YEARS AGO AND SHE IS FINE, HE IS A GREAT SURGEON, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO HAVE 3 IV'S AT ONE TIME BEFORE SURGERY

I had to meet with Dr. David Dyer prior to approval from my insurance company. Not only is he is a wonderful man, but he also shows to be very genuine in his role as a doctor. He was very kind, knowledgeable, and personable. He discussed with me all of the types of WLS and listened to my concerns and addressed them thoroughly. He talked to me about all the benefits and well as all the risks associated with WLS. Afterwards I chose to get the RNY pending approval from my insurance, due to my current medical needs, and what we both thought we work best for me. Dr. Dyer really emphasized aftercare and reviewed with me his offices' aftercare procedures. His office staff is wonderful. I have worked closely with Sherry in the financial office,and no matter how often I call, she is always helpful and friendly. Pending my approval, I look forward to working with Dr. Dyer and his staff, because as of right now, I feel I will be in very capable hands.

Dr. Dyer has an excellent program for follow-up after his bariatric surgery procedures. He has his patients sign a contract committing to follow-up with him and other counseling and support. That contract helps keep me committed to the aftercare program which has contributed greatly to my loss of 111 lbs in the past 4 months. I feel like a new and better person and look forward to continuing the progress under his direction.

9/14/2009--I am now at my goal, and I have lost a total of 212 lbs at my 1-year anniversary on 9/3/2009. I have not felt this good in so many years that I can't even remember. The transition from weight loss to maintaining is a little scary and exciting. I have always been able to lose weight, but I have never maintained my weight loss before even this long. Dr. Dyer's support and the support in the Weight Loss Program (from staff and dieticians) makes all the difference for me. Pre-op preparation and post-op support (both of which are stressed in this program) are making the difference in my life. I am not at all sure I would be alive today if I had not entered into this weight loss journey over the last year. Pre-op, I took 13 prescription medications (33 pills and 2-4 insulin injections) everyday. I am now taking one pill daily for a slightly elevated blood pressure and am being weaned off of that. It is beyond my comprehension, and I don't even know how to convey how grateful I am except to put it in writing.

My firist impression of Dr. Dyer is that he was a professional, and that he was confident in his ability to help me. It took 2 years for my insurance company to finally say yes to Lap-Band Surgery, and it was a new day for me! Finally, after years of being overweight, I would now have a tool to help me stay on track. Dr. Dyer's staff is exceptional and with the help of his staff on staying on top of my insurance problems, I feel they were awesome at their job of helping me get my surgery approved. I will be honest....for me, the surgery was not bad. For me, it was not eating solid food for 7 days before surgery and 7 days after surgery. But I believe that this helped me get even more mentally prepared for the changes in my diet. Dr. Dyer was supportive of me before I went back in to surgery and was concerned for my well being. I felt very safe in his care. I would highly recommend him as a surgeon. I will never be able to thank him enough for helping me change my life. He will give you all the information that you need to go over if you are wanting to have surgery and is willing to answer any questions that you have. He stressed to me the importance of my aftercare, taking my vitamins, drinking my fluids, exercising and eating my protein that is needed everyday. THANK YOU Dr. Dyer for helping me to become a healthy young lady!

After surgery, I thought I had an emergency. It turned out to be nothing, but it was on a weekend and Dr. Dyer's answering service promptly paged him to call my home. He did so with utmost concern and even chatted for a moment about my feelings. I actually look forward to visiting him in the office. His staff is knowledgeable and have been able to answer all of my questions. Dr. Dyer is a new best friend for life, and I feel like he feels the same about me!

rnAs far as I am concerned, Dr. Dyer is simply the best WLS surgeon in the nation. His skill as a surgeon and his willingness to listen made this experience almost a non-event. I cannot thank him enough for such a positive experience.rnrnMy first impression of Dr. Dyer was his kindness, professionalism and straight forward manner of communication. Although he was sick with a cold, he did not cut short my information session. He did not talk down, and welcomed questions. rnrnDuring my physical examination, he discovered a very large ventral hernia resulting from a previous abdominal surgical procedure. He stated that WLS would likely have to be done as an open procedure and that a repair of the hernia would most likely have to take place at that same time in order to prevent the possibility of intestinal blockages, etc. rnrnWhile waiting for my surgery date, I called Dr. Dyer with a number of questions. As before, he took the time to answer my questions and did not try to down play the seriousness of the surgery. rnrnOn the day of surgery, December 10, 2008, Dr. Dyer laparascopically viewed the ventral hernia and determined that the hernia surgery could safely wait until after I had lost weight. My WLS surgery was done laparascopically and in all honesty, I keep waiting for the nausea, pain, and other complications experienced by my two sisters when they had WLS performed by two different surgeons in Atlanta. I expected to be in terrible pain, have infections of wound sites, and not able to eat or drink, but did not experience any of those complications. rnrnOn Christmas day, I had my first blended food. Following instructions to make the meal last 30 minutes, I enjoyed shaved turkey chopped and chopped green beans without any problems.rnrnDr. Dyer’s staff is excellent. They provide excellent customer service even to patients requiring changes in scheduling and other unexpected needs. rnrnDr. Dyer stresses aftercare and follow-up visits include visits with the dietitian and exercise physiologist, as well as, reminders of group meetings.rn

My first impression of Dr. Dyer was that he was very kind and professional, interseted in what I thought and felt was best for me. That feeling continues now.rn The staff was very helpful, I had my surgery scheduled and had another medical problem come up, called their office, they rescheduled to better suit me, and there was no charge, and they seemed happy to help.rn Aftercare is very important, He and his staff want you to have great success. Aftercare is easy to obtain with everything available on site, and meetings in several off sites and counties.rn Surgical competence and Bedside manner were wonderful. No complaints at all.rn I had surgery on the 18 of Dec, 2008. I have done wonderful, no problems at all, great pain control, although the pain was never very bad, i'm not sore anymore, and having no problem with allowed foods. But I am doing exactly what He said do. I have lost 15 pounds and feel fine. Thank you Dr. Dyer and staff

Dr. Dyer seems to be a very competent and nice man. His office staff is very nice. Everyone there treats you with the upmost respect.

I had Lap RNY completed by Dr.Dyer on June 30, 2009. Dr. Dyer has always taken the time to answer any quetsions and calm any of my fears that I've had. He is very compassionate and caring and this was exactly what I wanted in a surgeon. Overall, I think that Dr. Dyer is a fantastic surgeon and I high recommend him to anyone considering any type of weight loss surgery.
