Review 3/9/2011
|
I'm so happy I chose Dr. Carson Liu as my bariatric doctor.
I met him 10 years ago when he was at UCLA and the LapBand didn't exist, yet... He smirked at me and asked why I was there. Let me rewind... That day I walked in the office for a solution to my obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and everything else that comes along with being over weight... The waiting room was filled with people "bigger" than me. I actually felt uncomfortable.
I consulted with Dr. Liu and started the paperwork etc... but due to family issues, I could not proceed. I actually was relieved... I thought there has to be a better way. I did Phen-Fen... Which worked for me as it was supposed to do - no side affects other than I forgot I took my pills in the morning and took all for the day... Yeah not good, I passed out in church... The rest of the pills went down the toilet. I lost 60-70 pounds but eventually gained it all and I mean all back.
So here I am - the lapband is everywhere. I called some advertised doctors but remembered Dr. Liu and found him.
10 years later from the first time meeting him I had the band put in. It's been 3 months, I've lost weight, I feel better. I'm not taking any diabetes medicine from inception of the surgery and I've been taken off of blood pressure medicine.
My main goal was to be healthier and if it wasn't for Dr. Liu and his staff, (which are AWESOME!!!) who knows how long I would be able to be on this earth.
Big Mahalo's to Dr. Liu and his team... If someone reads this review and needs help with their weight - I recommend this doctor before anyone else.
