cotobo 0 Posted May 21, 2013 I do not know why it took me 10 plus years to get it together and have surgery. I spent absurd amounts of dollars on dieting plans, pills, meetings, new fad diets and everything in between. I am sure my waiting had to do with having the right Dr and the right staff. It was definatley a blessing to have the WLIAz in my neighborhood when my aha moment occured. My journey started in Aug of last year and I am happy with my progression. I got rid of 27 lbs so far and have no intention of ever finding it again. Dr Orris and his staff have what it takes to help me through this healthy change and I am so glad they are here for my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jourdyn 1 Posted June 18, 2013 Hello! Dr. Orris is doing my surgery too! I am still in process just completed my psych eval and ultrasound. I'm in 2nd month of my 6th month diet with pcp. I've only met him once so I'm hoping once I am done with my pcp, i'll get to know him better, but my experience with WLIA has been great! I can't wait to be banded!!

I had to reschedule my EGD and don't know yet when it'll be, but I would love to chat with you so we can head down this path together and share stories, concerns, whatever...if you're interested. In the meantime, all the best to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
