"Because of a horrible experience that my sister-in-law had immediately following a gastric bypass in the Fall of 2007, I'd decided that it was not an option for me. After doing a lot of research regarding weight loss surgery, checking out multiple forums/posts on the internet and talking to everyone who would give me the time of day, I made the decision to attend Dr. Gibbs' seminar on 9/26/08.rnrnWow! All I can say about all of the praises sung to Dr. Gibbs and his staff that I've read/heard seem 100% accurate so far! I learned more about weight loss surgery in that 2 hour seminar than I'd learned from my hours of research otherwise. Dr. Gibbs was extremely personable and explained the process so throughly that I had zero questions in the end. His credentials are superb and I feel 100% comfortable about putting my life and that of my daugher into his hands. Although he is on the cutting edge of these proceedures, I believe he is so intent on helping people that he would never take any unnecessary risk or consider performing surgery on someone he felt was not ready for the procedure.rnrnAs for his staff, Carrie and Tina were as friendly and helpful as anyone could ask for...and they evidently have the patience of saints! After the seminar people lined up to talk to both of them and although I couldn't imagine any question that wasn't answered in the seminar, they repeated information time and again with genuine care and concern. Frankly, I wanted to swat some of the people for asking such ridiculous questions, but they treated each and every attendee with infinite patience and grace. rnrnI was truly impressed beyond any expections I had. My search for the perfect team is over!!!"
