"One word - Fantastic. His staff is simply amazing and I couldn't have asked for a surgeon with more knowledge and skill. rnrnI have struggled with my weight since I was in third-grade and had minor complications since high-school. Most recently, after a year of battles with weight-related health issues that ranged from cellulitis to plantar facititis I finally received approval from insurance for the RNY. Dr. Frantzides staff worked with me to help make that approval a reality. rnrnTwo days before surgery my weight had topped out at 431lbs and my BMI was 62. I also need to mention that after Dr. Frantzides ordered a liver biopsy in surgery, we discovered I was on the verge of liver failure due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. This had not even been a consideration or suggested by any prior physician.rnrnBoth my wife and her mother have had the RNY and Dr. Frantzides was their surgeon as well. They are also both doing amazingly well and have lost almost a combined 300lbs. Together we are looking to push that over the 600lbs mark. That's a lot of weight folks.rnrnSimply put choosing Dr. Frantzides to perform my Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass saved my life and has given me options I never realized I had."
