"My first impression of Dr. Dyer was that he was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the various bariatric surgeries and a very approachable man. He addressed all of our questions regarding every aspect of the surgerys, recovery times - everything. He is amazing! The day of my surgery I was so nervous - he has a very calming presense about him. I was immediately put at ease when he came to me in the pre surgery area - he calmed me and I was ready!! rnrnAfter the surgery he came to me again in thue recovery room and asked if I had any questions - of course my mind wasn't working quite yet so the only question I had was - where is the port? He grinned and showed me where to find it. He went to find my partner and told her how it went and relieved her stress about the surgery. His bedside manor was awesome!rnrnMy first appointment was a couple of days ago. I lost a total of 18 pounds! My incisions are doing great. Most of the butterfly stiches are almost gone and I have started eating chopped foods - I was so excited! After being on a liquid diet for two weeks - I am sure you can imagine! We wore our college tshirts to the appointment. He is an Ole Miss fan! He made sure I knew that Ole Miss was the only team that has beaten the Gators!!rnrnHis office has a structured after care program also! There are dieticians, exercise people and the office staff was amazing with answering all the questions about insurance and times for appointments. They are amazing there! I would definately recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone that is interested in having this surgery! rnrnThe only thing negative I can come up with is that the surgery time was not communicated. I knew the date - but didnt know what time I was to be there until the day before when I did the preadmit at the hospital. rnrn"
