North Memorial Health Bariatric & Metabolic Surgical Weightloss Clinic Hospital

THANK YOU…THANK YOU…THANK YOU!!!!

Dr. Gipson, (Also referred to as my lifesaver!)

After spending several years living in misery as I continued gaining weight at a rapid pace, having absolutely no energy, having pain every time I ate, and having acid reflux so bad that it would run out of my nose when I slept, it was a huge relief to have found you, a Dr. that actually listened to me and didn’t just tell me to “diet and exercise”.

While I agree everyone needs to watch their diet and exercise regularly, no one took the time to listen to me about having an underlying condition that made it nearly impossible for me to lose the weight or to exercise. Even after two gastric emptying studies were performed that produced severely abnormal results, no one “listened” to me but you.

You, Dr. Gipson, my lifesaver, “LISTENED” to me. I appreciate your prompt attention to my problem and for being a Dr. that really cared, and for recognizing that I would not be able to conquer this on my own. I have had numerous surgeries and have never had a Dr. with such wonderful bedside manor and who gave me the feeling that they really cared for me and what I was going through as you did.

Sept 15th, 2010…The day my life began again! You performed the surgery that saved my life. Today, Feb 21st, 2011, I am 95 lbs lighter, have a lot of energy, have no pain when I eat and have no acid reflux! I have my self-confidence and self-worth back in full force now! I have gone from a size 22W to a 14 regular so far and am looking forward to making my goal of a size 8-10. I am not only unstoppable in my weight loss and healthy living journey, but in my daily life as well.

Sincerely,

Tanya Fehr
