Patient Testimonials

Thanks to the skills of Dr. Fares II and the support of his team of professionals, my life has been changed forever. From the first visit to his office, thru the testing, surgery and recovery Dr. Fares and his team has been there and continues to be there for support and motivation. Initially, the decision for having Gastric Bypass surgery was difficult and full of questions. Not a problem when working with this group. No stone was left unturned. I think it was the best decision I have ever made. Thanks you Dr. Fares and your entire team for providing me a “New Lease on Life”~ Bob S., Trenton, NJ

 

I had the Bypass approximately one year and six months ago. I have lost approximately 107 pounds. I am about 15 pounds from my goal of 150. As a result of the entire process I was able to stop taking blood pressure medication. I had been taking these medications for approximately 15 years prior. I am still experiencing benefits from the bypass and am still able to lose weight at this time. The monthly meetings have been very, very beneficial prior to (surgery) and for me months after the process. The medical team has been most supportive always exhibiting superior expertise, knowledge and professionalism. ~ Claudette B., Trenton, NJ

 

My experience with the surgery was a success. Starting with the staff and then the doctor he was the best, he is my savior. The most important thing is that I had PCOS with diabetes, high blood pressure and severe sleep apnea. On the next day of surgery, I was off all my meds and I feel so good and healthy that my whole family is very happy for me. The hospital stay was excellent. I don’t have enough words to thank the doctor and all the staff. Dr. Fares and staff are my hero. ~ Johanna H., Hightstown, NJ

 

The surgery saved my life. I got to the point where I couldn’t walk from my living room to the kitchen without sitting down. I became severely diabetic, had severe sleep apnea and acid reflux. I was slowly killing myself. I didn’t want to have the surgery because that would mean I couldn’t do it myself. But I couldn’t. With the staff’s support and encouragement every step of the way, I had the surgery and got my life back. I lost 102 pounds so far with 50 more to go, but my A1C went from a high of 11, down to 6.1. I no longer have acid reflux or sleep apnea, and my energy level has returned to normal. I feel alive again. ~ Josephine B., Hamilton, NJ

 

From my first consultation to post surgery visits, I’ve had very positive experience with Dr. Fares and his team at the LifeCare. LifeCare helped me to realize that the actual surgery was only one part of the solution to my life long struggle with weight loss. They helped me in educating me about nutrition and behavioral changes needed to reach my weight loss goals. I would recommend Dr. Fares and his team at LifeCare for anyone interested in a real solution and not a quick fix. ~ Kimberly T., East Windsor, NJ

 

I had my Bypass surgery December 10, 2009, and the Dr. Fares team was excellent before my surgery and even afterwards. You could not ask for a better team of Doctors, nurses and staff who helped with our questions and informed us for changing our lifestyles. I would recommend this team to other patients for this procedure. Also, I have met other people who had had this surgery and their doctors could not even compare to this team of great doctors and staff. ~ Gayle N., Langhorne, PA

 

I started on my journey at 236 lbs. my first appointment was December 1, 2008. From the first day I walked into the office I felt a sense of satisfaction in knowing I made the right choice. My family and friends comment that I look 20 years younger. I feel 20 years younger! To date I weigh 150 pounds. I feel fantastic!! No more heart, cholesterol or arthritis medications, only vitamins. ~ Joanna M., Hamilton, NJ

 

The Bypass was the best surgery I could have done for myself and if I didn’t have it I would not be writing this now, ‘cause I would not have been here. The hospital stay was great, I was home the next day. I am now a year out, lost 125 pounds and I would still like to drop another 50-75 pounds. I walk over 2 miles a day. I have talked 3 other people to have the bypass. All of the people in Dr. Fares office were just excellent and the support group meetings are very helpful. If I knew now back then, I would have had this done years ago. I feel great with no regrets whatsoever. ~ Debra U., Plainsboro, NJ

 

Dr. Fares and the staff at St. Francis LifeCare Physicians Surgery & Advanced Weight Loss changed my life. We began the journey together March 2009. I weighed 272 pounds. Thirteen months later (8 months past surgery), I have lost 112 pounds and feel fantastic. Dr. Fares and his staff work together to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to weight loss. I have a new attitude, new energy, a new body and a new outlook on life. Size 24 to a size 6/8. ~ Robyn C., Fairless Hills, PA
