If so, how was your experience with him? How was your hospital stay?

Excellent all the way around. I love that they have support group meetings several times a week in different locations/times/places. I felt really cared for by the medical team. I have a laundry list of allergies,I'm a vegetarian and I don't accept blood transfusions. I explained all of this to the team up front and asked if this would be a problem or interfere with me have bariatric surgery. I was assured that it wasn't and te staff never pushed the issue.

My surgery went as smooth as it could. The only issue I had was they couldn't fine a vein for my IV the day of surgery. They ended up having to go in my neck. It was a little scary because they had to tilt the bed back, but the staff was very comforting and reassuring under the circumstances. Other than that, my surgery was a breeze! I was walking in recovery. I had no pain and never needed to use the morphine pump or take pain meds. I had a private room on the floor and my nurse was great! When they found out I lived alone they made arrangements for a visiting nurse to come check on my upon discharge.

I choose Dr. Williams because he had done GBP on a friend of mine and she said he was good. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone in the Philly area considering this surgery.
