Patient Testimonials
Thank you Dr Funnell for giving me my life back! This has been an absolute life changing Journey. Thank you to everyone involved
I googled bariatric surgery and met with Dr Funnel, that was the day my life completely changed. Dr Funnel did not make me feel bad for being overweight and treated me with dignity and respect, I cried in his office because I finally had a doctor that heard me! The entire bariatric team was phenomenal and made my journey so easy.
I am so grateful to Dr Funnell for his expertise, and for his compassion and understanding of those of us who struggle daily with the disease of obesity. I would recommend the surgery to anybody who qualifies for it, but advise you to thoroughly research and understand what you are getting into. Don’t be tempted by what appears to be a “magic pill”. It is anything but…….but it is worth all of the challenges. You deserve this.
