"AFTER REVIEWING A PACKET OF INFO SENT REGARDING BARIATIC SURGERY AT UNIVERSITY OF PENN. I CALLED FOR MY APPT IN LATE JULY. MY FIRST APPT WITH DR STEVEN RAPER WAS FEB 18TH. I HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT THIS SURGEON. HE TOLD ME ALL THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS SURGERY. HE GAVE ME ALL THE TIME NEEDED TO ANSWER MY CONCERNS. I HAVE HEARD MANY GREAT REFERENCES FOR DR RAPER AND HIS STAFF. I WAS TOLD THE RISKS.... ALSO THE RISKS OF NOT HAVING THIS SURGERY IF I DINT DO SOMETHING ABOUT LOSING WIEGHT. DR RAPER EVEN ASKED WHOM I'D HAVE HELPING ME AT HOME WHILE I RECUPPERATED... WE COVERED SOUP TO NUTS PARDON THE PUN...I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH DR RAPER.. HE WAS VERY EASY TO TALK TO."
