Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy

Dr. Feng is FANTASTIC!! He did my sleeve last August 2, 2007.
I have absolutely NOTHING but wonderful things to say about him. He did a great job talking me through my options but I went in KNOWING I wanted to have the Sleeve (my mom had a DS and knew I couldnt take the pills required)and he was very respectful about my opinion and agreed with me.
He was very active in my care and sincere. He has helped me with a few issues that I have had (not associated with the sleeve). He keeps a very close look at my labs I get done. He ordered extra vitamins I need (as a result of the lab work).
I have NO COMPLICATIONS whatsoever with my sleeve, but if I did I knew he would do whatever he had to do to help.
He is understanding and not intimidating at all, like some other doctors are that I have met. If anyone asks me about the sleeve... I have always given his name because he is such a wonderful doctor and I trust him. I had to be able to trust someone that I as putting my life in his hands ( I am a single parent and didnt want anything to happen to me). I was so nervous walking into the operating room that I started to cry and he just held my hand and was saying everything would be ok. And it was!! THANKFULLY!!! lol MY WHOLE experience with him has been NOTHING but wonderful! I owe Dr Feng for givning me my life back. Also for making me a better mother so I can take my child to the park and run around without getting out of breath. Thank you Dr. Feng!!
