Yes, I have my surgery scheduled for May 30 with Dr Fitzer. I have heard so many good things about him and his staff. My niece and a good friend of mine also used him for their surgery and highly recommended him!

I did the webinar Monday and I have my first appointment May 12. My friend used him for her surgery too; and she recommended him. She has only had great things to say! I have PEIA insurance and a little concerned with how long I could have to wait....hoping I don't have to wait that long.

He's great. I have nothing to complain about. He is his own on call physician which I was surprised about, but super grateful for. He has a thorough eating regimen and really sets you up to be successful.

That's really good to hear! I've been nervous....my insurance has a 12 month wait, but I did 12 months of weight management through them... so I'm hoping we are starting the process in time that all that counts!

Hi everyone,

Im scheduled for surgery with Dr. Fitzer, I know im pulling up this thread from a while ago, but i was wondering if he required any one of you to do an endoscopy or sonogram before surgery? I am a self pay patient.

So far he hasn't had me do that....but my insurance requires 12 months supervised diet. I'm getting ready for my 6th visit.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
