Greetings, So I really hit a low point with some financial stress that I went through with a small business I have and reverted back to my old ways of dealing with things - very poor food choices over a couple of months. I feel terrible, but I am ready…

My brain and body is contanly disagreing about what foods to eat. My brain wants the familiar fried food or junk food and my body constantly rejects it, sometimes with a vengence depending on what types of foods I try to eat. I came to a conclusion that this will be…

Every January, I see the same thing on the grocery store racks. The People Magazine "Half Their Size" issue. I see the smiling faces, the "before" photos of people who used to look like me, and the headlines about "Grit, Determination, and Dieting." But here is the play they won’t…

Dr. Ferzli really cares about his patients and he is so calm, friendly, and knowledgeable. That made me feel confident about having him as my surgeon. I have spoken to others who feel the same way. Having bariatric surgery is life changing and I highly recommend it!
