"I was very impressed with Dr. Liebscher and the procedure. "

"I was very impressed with the facilities and staff at Penrose - everyone was pleasant, helpful, and understanding. I made an effort to be cheerful, happy, and to say "thank you", and it showed - they were the same back to me. And my private room on the 6th floor was wonderful - thank you, Penrose!"

"1/26/04 - I'm now two weeks post-op, and just want to say how impressed I was with Dr. Fedorak during my stay in the hospital. After surgery, I found out that there was a minor complication during the procedure that caused me to start "spurting" a lot of blood. Dr. Fedorak not only took care of it, he did it in such a way that my surgery was still laparoscopic! I'm very impressed with his surgical skills - thanks, Dr. Fedorak!<p> 8/12/03 - I went in for my first meeting with Dr. Fedorak today. It went very well - he's a gregarious, open person who really seems to understand why people would want to have this surgery. What I really liked about him was his ability to move the conversation back and forth from providing technical details to listening with a sympathetic ear. Dr. Fedorak was optimistic about my chances with the surgery, while also being quite firm regarding the requirements for success. He not only emphasized aftercare with him (immediately after surgery, 3 month checkup, 6 month checkup, 12 month checkup, and yearly after that), but the need to meet with the nutritionist and everyone else I need to to ensure a true lifestyle change. Very nice. Dr. Fedorak did a good job of covering the risks associated with surgery; he also did a good job of explaining that his focus will be on safety, not just getting the job done. I'm feeling much more comfortable with the idea of surgery, since he really seems to know what he's doing. So that's where I'm at. I'm now to wait for a call from his office to start scheduling the psych evaluation, nutritionist evaluation, etc (already have a sleep apnea study scheduled). The next time I see him will be right before the surgery (if I'm approved, of course!). On what I've seen today, I would recommend Dr. Fedorak to any in the Colorado Springs area."
