"Dr. Aranow is an excellent surgeon. He clearly communicated the expectations for success before the entire process began and provided necessary information along the way to support my success. I would like to commend, in particular, the professional team that supported the entire process, including the office staff, the nutritionist, the hospital staff, the psychiatrist, and the support group that I continue to attend. Each of these people/groups were incredibly important and responsible for my success.
It has been 13 months since my surgery date. I have lost a total of 186 pounds and I have passed the goal recommended to me by Dr. Aranow. I continue to rely on the nutritionist, Kitty, and the psychiatrist, Kim, for my ongoing battle to maintain the weight loss, along with the support group at Middlesex Hospital. I realize that maintaining the weight loss will never be easy, but it is manageable with this great support team.
I typically talk about my experiences with only close friends and family because it is still a private journey for me. However, if anyone wishes to ask questions to assist in personal decisions and you believe that I can be of help, please contact me. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Dr. Aranow to perform the surgery that I had, robotic RNY gastric bypass. I have NO regrets about any of the decisions Dr. Aranow helped me to make. I am happy, healthy, physically fit, very active and I believe the quantity and quality of the years ahead of me have drastically increased."
