"I was not impressed by Dr. Batay-Csorba the first time I met him. But he's an Ok Dr. The staff at BTC are in the most part very friendly but there are a few who are not. Alot of the staff that I met the first time I went there who were really nice to me are no longer working there. The staff at the hospital in Addison where my surgery was performed were extremely friendly and attentive. I took alot of time to study up on this surgery before I decided to do it and I knew it was my last resort at loosing weight. I was of course scared but wanted it more than anything and fought for 2 years with 2 different Ins. Co's and kept getting denied so I joined BC/BS and they approved my surgery the first time. Thank God for them. I was informed of all the risks involved in this surgical procedure and knew all I needed to know before I went into the hospital but I kind of knew what to expect as I had had 5 major surgeries previous to this and any surgical procedure has risks. I was very lucky as I had no complications from this surgery and haven't to this day. I have heard about others who have had severe complications but I am one of the lucky ones who survived unharmed.
If you are contemplating this surgery make sure it is what you really want to do. It is not a magical weight loss solution. The weight doesn't come off overnight and takes time and you have to follow the aftercare program. There are times where I wish I could eat more at a time but that's what got me where I was in the first place. This is just another tool that has been provided for us in our battle against obesity and it is all up to you as to how you want to use it. If you abuse it it won't work for you. But if you follow the instructions and take care of yourself it will work. "
