I struggled with my weight for years and finally made a decision to make a change that would increase my chances of living longer and healthier I was recommended to come see Dr. Andrei through a friend of a friend and the experience and knowledge received has been life changing. My new born day was 4-1-2010 and I have dropped a total of 32 lbs. since then I am looking forward
to the smaller things in life and I feel as if though I am on my way in the right direction.
Dr. Andrei and his staff are awesome. They have provided me with support since I began this process several months ago. I have lost several pounds since my pre op visits and I am very happy with the way my journey is going. Muy surgery was on March 22nd and it went so well that I could not believe I had even had surgery! I am so happy that I chose Dr. Andrei and would recommend anyone looking into bariatric surgery to see him. The support is phenomonal, and I am very happy I made the decision I did.
1. my impression on my surgeon was that he was very nice.
2. i was very excited about getting my surgery because ive struggles with obesity for a long time and its really does work.
3. ive lost a couple pounds in 3 weeks so i have seen results and im very happy.
4. the staff here in my doctors office are so nice and caring.
Dr. Andrei was/is amazing, his staff is the best. You walk in there and everyone knows you by name. It is like family being there.
It is a little over an hour trip to see him, but it is so worth it. His bedside manner is wayyyyy above and beyond any surgeon ive ever met. No joke, he was on the phone with me every morning in the hospital at 530am. Or was visiting me by 7am. I swear he never sleeps.
I'd recommend him to anyone
I had original lap band surgery august 4, 2008. I did well with weight loss, reversed diabetes , lowered blood pressure , and began a daily reigiment of walking. March 2009 had some problems with lack of weight loss. Diagnosed with prolapsed stomach. Had surgery scheduled for June 4, 2009 lap band revision which turned out to be a repair of a second hernia, clean up of scar tissue and removal of lap band totally. At present I am healing from surgery and not sure of future surgery if any. I have been vry pleased with my surgeon, Dr. Andrei and all of his staff throughout my ordeal. I hope to contiun e with nutrtionist. aFTER THE BAND REMOVAL, i WAITED 6 MONTHS AND DECIDED TO HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY. i WAS TOLD BY dR. aNDREI THAT THIS WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR ME AS i WAS ONCE AGAIN A DIABETIC AND LIVER ENZYMES WERE CLIMBING HIGH. oN mARCH 1ST THIS YEAR i HAD THE SURGERY AND WAS PLESANTLY SURPRISED TO FIND THE RECOVERY FOR ME WAS MUCH LESS PAINFUL (VERY lITTEL) AND THE WEIGHT LOSS MUCH QUICKER. i FEEL GREAT AND WALK EVERY DAY. i AM HOPING TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY TO LIVE A HEALTHIER HAPPIER LIFESTLYE.tHE OFFICE SUPPORT FROM sHERRY, pAMELA AND sHANNON HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP TO ME. i HOPE TO CONTINUE TO USE THERE ASISSTANCE.
