I have lost 126 lbs since my surgery. My BMI has gone from 53 to 31. The surgery saved my life in too many ways to name. My surgeon was Dr. Olsen. He is the best doctor in the world. I would recommend him to my family and friends. In fact, my only daughter had her WLS this past May 4th. Her surgeon was Dr. Olsen. Dr. Olsen's staff is also the best.

I would like to thank Dr. Dyer for performing my gastric bypass surgery. I came home from the hospital with none of my previous medications. My diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol is all under control without medication, which is awesome. The only regrets that I have is that I didn't have this surgery sooner. After 3 months I have lost a total of 57 lbs. I have more energy and don't want to sleep all the time.

A friend of mine had gastric bypass done by Dr. Dyer one year ago this month, and she had previously weighed about what I did. She felt so much better, and could move so much more easily, that I decided I wanted that for myself after being overweight all my life. I had tried all the ways possible to lose weight by myself without success. Dr. Dyer is informative, he listens to his patients and he answers questions as though he has all the time in the world to make sure you understand what you need to understand. My surgery was very successful and although I had to stay two days extra for a slightly elevated temperature, I felt that I was being cared for like a family member. He didn't want to let me go home until he felt I was perfectly ready to go home. He watched over me. Now at 3 months post op, I have lost 65 pounds, and gone down three sizes. I move faster, my knees and hips and ankles don't hurt like they did before and my blood sugar and A1C are back in normal range. The surgery is not a cure. It is a tool which helps us to make lifestyle changes that we have never been able to do for ourselves. With Dr. Dyer, his staff, and the Centennial staff on the bariatric floor, I was given the tools to successfully lose the weight and learn a healthy lifestyle so that I can walk confidently and happily into the future.

I was 480 pounds at my heaviest. I met with Dr. Houston on 1/18 and got insurance approval on 02/01. I had my Duodenal Switch surgery on 02/24/2009. Since my highest weight I have lost a total of 191 pounds. I feel so much healthier and happier. I can now ride roller coasters and I actually fit in the seat in an airplane. Dr. Houston saved my life with this surgery.

I am one month out from surgery. Feeling great! I've lost 30 lbs so far, one size in pants and almost 2 in tops! I'm walking my mile and have joined Curves. I'm being called the "Incredible Shrinking Woman" at work, each day my clothes fit differently and I'm losing it seems a pound a day. Dr. Dyer and his staff have changed my life - he is wonderful and so caring and dedicated to the success of his patients! This pic is from 7/29 w/my best friend since first grade! I feel wonderful and don't mind my picture being taken now lol! I'm looking forward to vacation in September and being even more slender and healthy by then.

I was 355 pounds at my heaviest. It has been almost 8 months since I had surgery and now I am 224. I have never felt as well as I do now. I have so much more energy now that I have lost the weight. My aches and pains have all disappeared. I don't take any more of my medication. The only pills I take is all of my vitamins. I am glad that I had my surgery and I would recommend it to anyone. Doctor Dyer has taking very good care of me through everything I have endured. I thank him very much for everything that he has done for me and for taking such good care of me. Everyone in his office is precious and has a good heart. May God bless them and I thank everyone of them for everything that they have done for me. Dr. Dyer thank you for giving me the life I have now. I am living now where before I was just existing. God bless you and thank you.

I can't say enough good about Dr. Dyer and his staff. He is so caring and so respectful of his patient's dignity. He was very helpful to my family during my stay at the hospital and his visits were helpful and comforting to me as a patient. It has been almost 3 months since my surgery and I have lost 52 pounds so far. I am not taking any blood pressure medications (previously I took 3 a day) and Type 2 diabetes is no longer an issue. I have more energy than ever and look forward to each new day! What a great experience!

I now have two birthdays per year....the one on which my mother gave birth to me, and the one in which i was 'reborn', thanks to Dr Douglas Olsen. For many years I longed to have gastric bypass surgery. Finally, the time and place worked out and I found Dr Olsen. I weighed 339 lbs on June 25, 2008, the date of my surgery. Today is July 6, 2009 and I currently weigh 189 lbs. Sometimes it is so hard to believe!! I only wish I could have done it sooner! Dr Olsen and all of his staff have been kind, patient and understanding during each and every step I have taken this last year. I would recommend them to anyone...and have done so many times!
