Surgeon Info:
Jerzy M. Macura M.D. (Brooklyn, NY)
I met Dr Macura while he was still practicing in Staten Island in 2000 - I looked into his eyes and knew I could trust him with my life - his staff was friendly & professional - they took me through each step prior to surgery including group meetings, blood work, psych eval, etc., and kept me informed of every step in the recovery process. I started at 502# and had nobody judging me - there was only 100% support - my expected weight loss after surgery was a max of 60-70% of my excess which would have left me in the 300# range -my aftercare was so thorough, and my own dedication to the work necessary on my part led me to lose 92% of my excess (more than 320#s!) I could not have accomplished such a feat without Dr Macura and his dedicated staff - sadly, not long after my procedure, he moved to Brooklyn and I stayed with the SI location for aftercare, but I would have died without Dr Macura and would recommend him to anyone considering such life-altering surgery!! He is wonderful and caring with great bedside manner - I have maintained the loss since 2003 (7 years now)
