I have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Salimitari.  His office did all the work all I had to do was show up! I was so scared to have this surgery at first, however Dr. Salimitari eased my mind, answered every question, and addressed every fear.  I use to go to bed at night and pray that tomorrow "This diet will work", or "This work out", or "This gym membership", "that trainer", and nothing, I would loose some and gain a TON back, it was a never ending story, until I met Dr. Salimitari, what a miracle he is, an angel given to me, and passed to you! When I woke from surgery, I was so groggy, and very scared, but Dr. Salimitari was standing there with a big smile and asked me how I was doing, and I was GREAT, I was in no pain.  I remember saying to Dr. Salimitari "Thank you for giving me my life back." Dr. Salimitari told me "I didn't do that, you did it!" I am so grateful that he is my doctor, every time I think about how much weight I have lost I cry, I never thought I could do this, but I am here to tell you that if I can do this so can YOU! You will never be alone in this procedure, Dr. Salimitari is there the whole way, he will hold your hand when you need it to be held, and he will give you a hug when you need it, He is really good at giving me the encouragement I needed in the beginning, and he continues to give it now! If you have the opportunity to have the Lab Band done DO IT! Have Dr. Salimitari DO it for you too, I have energy, I can play in the water at the beach and not get winded, I can run, climb, hike and ride my bike.  I can do all those things I thought I would never ever get to do again! You know what, you can do this too.  I know I sound like a commercial I am a real person that is just so grateful and for the first time in 20 YEARS I feel beautiful! I love this man that gave me my life back, and if he can give you yours take IT WE DESERVE IT!Thank you Dr. SalimitariSincerely,Rhonda
