Dec 18, 2023
The care and understanding was outstanding, he listened to my story and knew exactly how to proceed with me, he answered all my concerns. The aftercare has been out standing, teaching me how to eat and not feel one bit deprived . I had the surgery done 3 years and I have not gained any weight back. Thank you to Dr Fitzer and your team, you have given me my life back and I feel and look fabulous.
