Dr. Peter Crookes performed my DS & RNY 14 years ago. Subsequently, I lost 180 pounds and went from a size 3X to size 12. The surgery was performed when I was 60 years of age. What a difference! No more cane. Easy plastics to remove extra skin including the flappy arms. Double knee replacement was a breeze without the extra weight. Dr. Crookes has been there with me annually as I do my vitamin tests and always first with a good Irish hug. Even after we moved to another state I have been able to reach Dr. Crookes by phone or by email. He has commented that I was his poster girl for bariatric surgery and follow up. I love this first class leprechaun.
