"01/11/01 I had my first meeting with Dr. Vitello and I think he was wonderful. Although I had a list of questions to ask his explanations about the surgery answered most of them. He told me the pros and cons and was very professional without being over baring. I elected to have the surgery because without it I would still have to go through another surgery for my gastral reflux which he said would be eliminated with this procedure.
I am now waiting approval from my insurance company."
