So, her it is two years later (January 21, 2012 was two years post op) and I can't begin to tell you the joy and pleasure I have in life now. Dr. Andrei, the office staff, support groups... I could go on. YOU ARE NEVER IN THIS ALONE!
To date, I have lost 120lbs, gone from a size 26/28 to asize 6/8 (a 7/9 in juniors! Yes, I said juniors!). I can't thank Dr. Andrei enough for giving me the tools to help me achieve my goal... to look and ffel better, for my kids, for my husband, FOR ME!!
After a year and a half of research, I finally found Dr. Andrei. Not only were his reviews great, but several of the peole my husband works wiht and their wives have used him for their wight loss surgery. rnUpon meeting Dr. Andrei for the first time, I was at ease, knowing that I was in the best possible hands. Not only did he interview me, but I interviewd him. The one question that I asked of other doctor's, that noone seemsed to be able to answer honestly was \"Why do you do this?\". Dr. Andrei looked me straight in the eye and said to me, \"I love what I do. IT is the only thing I do. It is important to me, more thatn anything else, to be able to help people achieve their goals of weight loss. I WANT to help you.\" rnI looked my husband in the eye righ tthere and said lets do this. rnMy surgery was scheduled about 3 months after my initial appointment, only to be postponed twice, through no fault of the doctor. I had surgery on January 21,2010. THe support of everyone, from the wonderful office staff, to that of Dr. Andrei, to the nurses of St. Barnabas hospital. I cannot say enough about these people. I am lloking forward to a new life, new me.
Dr. Andrei was great and made me feel like I was part of his family during my surgery. He was always there to assure me and answer any questions. Some Doctors you are just a number but not in this case. Thank you Dr. Andrei!
This have been a great life change for me. I am so glad that i did it!!!!!
I just want to thank Dr.Andrei for helping me get my life back. I am thankful that i had the chance to meet such a great man and his staff is also great.
I heard about Dr. Andrei from a radio commercial on Star 99.1. I never dreamed that I would EVER be a candidate for weight loss surgery but I am glad I explored it. Dr. Andrei's office staff (who you deal with most of the time) are wonderful. They all seem to be very happy at their job and that comes through to their patients. The only "hiccup" I encountered was my insurance company, but the office staff helped me through the whole process. If you are considering this journey, I would recommend setting up a time with Dr. Andrei. I believe once you meet everyone, you'll feel confident that you found the right place.
I first heard of Dr. Andrei through a radio station, Star 99.1. I trusted their recommendation and I am so glad that I chose him to be my Dr. My whole experience with him and his staff has been nothing buit a pleasure so far. I have been blessed to find a Dr and his staff that I am comfortable expressing any concerns I may have in my weight loss journey. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient and helpful. I couldn't be happier with my choice!
10/2010 i had my consult with dr. Andrei and it was within the 1st 5mins of meeting this angel that i knew he was the surgeon for me, 3 1/2 yrs before that i completed all the required consult except for the psych consult but wasn't comfortable with the doctor so i prayed and ask God to lead me to a surgeon of his chooosing and he sent me to his angel on earth dr. Andrei and his lovely staff we must not forget that they are an extension of this earth angel, i sat in that office and realized i wasn't worried about time(i lack patience) so that was indicative of the level of comfort you experience by being blessed to know dr.Andrei. my surgery was a success and i will forever be grateful to have dr.Andrei and his staff,my life now has purpose and i have learned so much about abusing the body with food and owe it all to my earth angels and God.
Dr Andrei and His Staff are fabulous. Over a year out and Still I feel as important to them as I did the day I came in to inquire about the procedure. Whenever I have a problem or question they are quick to respond and are always supportive of me without judgement. My decision to have the Bypass was difficult emotionally, but on this side of it looking back, I made the right choices. Particularly chosing Dr A.
My experience with Dr Andrei was very good. His staff is exceptional and I always feel welcomed and encouraged after having spoken to any of them. In making my decision to have bypass surgery I spent many months researching to find the right fit. For me Dr Andrei was the only way to go, despite having many talented surgeons far closer to my home. The hour+ drive to his office was weel worth it for the care I am given. The only thing that troubled me at all was that I didn't see Dr Andrei in the hospital at all, but his cover Doctors were aslo exceptional, and I wasn't in hospital long enough for it to make a difference.
It's been almost a year now since my RNY surgery. I'm happy to report that I've lost nearly 120lbs! I can't tell you how incredible it feels to be skinny again. Dr. Andrei and his staff have been there to support me all the way through the surgery, recovery, and their support after surgery has been fantastic. The most important advice I can give someone considering weight loss surgery is to find a surgeon they can trust, like Dr Andrei, and work with their staff. They are there to support you.
I can't tell you how pleased I am with Dr. Andrei and his staff. These folks are serious about weight loss. and patient care. They ensure you have the support you need before and after surgery. Dr. Andrei is very thorough in ensuring that you are prepared for the changes you will need to make in your diet and life after surgery and his staff are always available to help. The week after I was released from the hospital I got calls from either the doctor or his staff every day to ensure I was doing OK and to make sure all my questions/concerns were answered. I highly recommend these folks.
