Dr. Michael Bono, MD

In Octoner 2006 I underwent gastric bypass surgery. At the time I weighed 240 pounds. I am 5'1"....so yea, I was huge. I lost over 100lbs, in approx a year. Yes it was work. Yes it's still work. But I've never gone back to my old weight. I currently weight 126. I've been through menopause and still am able to keep my weight under control. Bypass surgery is a tool. It's not the be all and end all, or a miracle. You HAVE to change your eating habits. Your exercise habits. Your life style in order to be successful in the long term. My primary doc told me Saturday at my yearly check up that I'm one of his only patients that has been successful long term. To me that's sad. All that surgery and time and recovery, just to revert back. I loved Doc Bono. He was very nice to me. I never had any issues. But I also followed the before and after surgery rules...with eating, types of food, how much, measuring portion sizes....I made it work. If anyone wants proof of my change lemme… know....I'll be happy to send you pics and proof. You can look through my Facebook for proof. So thank you Doctor Bono! You have a success story in me!

Wouldn't take my dog or even my worst enemy to this doctor. Could care less about his patients. It's very sad because the post care on the nursing floor was amazing at Barix. Made me wait to be discharged even though I was cleared by everyone else and ready to go.

Confident, professional and a rare human factor - not mechanical - truly cares for his patients - would recommend to my family

Saved my life

He answered all my questions was always nice and did an amazing job at surgery highly recommended

Even though I haven't had my surgery yet, when I finally met with Dr. Bono, he put me at ease in no time. He is a knowledgeable, caring and completely professional Doctor, and I feel fortunate to have him. His staff is warm and friendly and I left feeling like I had made lifetime friends.I know it sounds cliche, but I felt that "This was the start of a beautiful friendship"
