"9/12/02: I met Dr. B. today, and this man is a GENUINE human being who really cares about helping the morbidly obese get their lives back. He was upfront with me about my being a very high risk; he assured me that I can do this, if we work together for success. A wonderful bedside manner. His reputation and education precedes him ~ his resume is impressive. Also very thorough with all the pre-op consults. He is considered an expert in LAP, but I am too big for that. What I liked the most about him was his ability to communicate with me, and his ability to make me feel at ease. I am sure his skill as a surgeon will also impress me after I experience it. I got my surgery date: 12/12/02 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Reading, PA. Merry Christmas to me!! 11/21/02: Met him again, and signed the consent forms. This man is a credit to the medical profession. The compassion for his pts. is genuine. He is worth waiting for, for WLS. 12/11/02: MY SURGERY WAS CANCELLED at the last minute due to critical blood shortage in PA. New date is now Jan 2nd, 2003. 1/2/3!!! This date was also cancelled due to new insurance becoming effective 1/1/03, and no approval in time. My THIRD date is now 1/14/03, thanks to Paula and Dr. Bonanni going to bat for me with the new insurance company. THIRD time's the charm!!!! :~) I CANCELLED this date myself. I was completely TERRIFIED to go through with it. The previous cancellations really did a number on my head....I wasn't meant to have WLS now. I figured God was telling me this was NOT the way to go. I am following the post-op diet, now, anyway. "

"He is a GENUINE human being who takes complete care of his pts. He is very open with obese pts. and tells you like it is. He is WLS friendly. I consider him THE most important person in my life, right now. His bedside manner is compassionate and caring. A wonderful man. A superb human being. His office furniture can be more bariatric friendly, but his staff is very accomodating. Most doctor offices do not have chairs that we fit in, anyway."

"She was very up front with me about the expectations of WLS. She made sure I "knew" what I was in for. Very friendly and interested in ME as a person. I could talk to her with ease. Very professional. "
