George S. Ferzli, MD, FACS Bariatrics Bariatric Center

I had Bariatric surgery on 12/16/08. Since that date, I have lost over 150 pounds. Dr. Ferzli explained to me on many occasions, the procedure in great detail. He made me feel very comfortable. He and his entire team are very professional and courteous as is his office staff. Dr. Ferzli and his team of surgeons visted me repeatedly in the hospital. I would highly recommned him and the program to anyone considering Bariatric surgery.

I was very confident going into surgery. My doctor came into surgery energetic and ready to prepare me for my new life. Lutheran Hospital staff was wonderful. They took very good care of me. I was in a lot of pain after. They quickly adminitered the medication I needed to feel more comfortable. They let me rest and did not bother me unnecessarily. Getting discharged was difficult. I felt that the prescribed medication should have been typed and ready when I was released. I had to wait for a doctor to write it and that kept me there for an extra hour, when all I wanted to do was be home to recuperate. Other than that, I had a very pleasant experience.

F, YOU ARE MY ANGEL!!

DR FERZLI HAS IMPRESSIVE CREDENTIALS I MET WITH HIM 3 TIMES AND HE TALKED INTO GASTRIC BYPAS INSTEAD OF LAP BAND DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT I NEED TO LOSE. HE WOULD HAVE PREFERRED GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY BUT INS WOULD NOT COVER IT SO HE FELT BYPASS BEST OPTION

I am extremely happy with the procedure. My health is improved. I am still diabetic, but my glucose level ranges 90-100's and before the surgery it was in the high 200's (and higher). I am very happy with Dr. Vulpe-- he is an excellent doctor.

I would not recommend this procedure be I had many post-op complications. But I am happy that I lost over 115 lbs. I love Dr. Vulpe and could not ask for a better doctor; my family adores him.

Dr. Ferzli is excellent and explained everything to me before the surgery. I had no problems after the proceedure, but did have some pain the first day; I felt fine afterwards, however. Dr. Ferli's office and professional staff are always so friendly, pleasant and encouraging. My advice is that as long as you stick to the diet and do everything they say, you will be fine!
