“Let us be grateful for the people that bring us happiness; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Proust

I began my weight loss journey in February 2014 and was blessed to have Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding help me on that journey. She is a skilled surgeon changing lives on a daily basis. Besides performing the surgeries that allow people a chance at a healthy life, Dr. Ren-Fielding brings her patients more confidence, happiness and restores their sense of self and self-worth.

While it’s important to have a doctor who is skilled in their area, which Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding obviously is, I believe in the importance of finding an expert doctor who also has incredible character — a rare find. Dr. Ren-Fielding exceeded my highest expectations. She is warm, modest, caring and one of the kindest people I have met. I am honored to have her as my doctor.

The decisions to have weight loss surgery is not an easy one but was one of the best choices I’ve made in my life and I am eternally grateful to Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding for her ongoing care. I look forward to our monthly visits where she listens carefully, gives me advice and we discuss my progress.

I cannot imagine the number of lives she has changed and the many more she will change as her career continues. She has given so many people a second chance at life. I hope she knows the never ending gratitude we all have.
