My heart doctor suggested getting the gastric bypass operation due to my weight which was up to 340 lbs. (BMI 44) and I have a heart condition, knee problems and other things. I’ve tried every diet and quick fix there was, but always gained more weight. I did lots of research on Laparoscopic surgery to find the right doctor. My friend had the operation performed by Dr. Mehta and told me how wonderful he and his staff (Debbie & Lulu) were and he was right. All my questions were answered honestly; I got an appointment within a few days, and got my surgery a month later. Debbie and Lulu could not be more helpful with my insurance approval, questions I had (no matter how silly) and support. They’re great!! Dr. Mehta is a total professional who takes great pride in what he does along with Dr. Patel. He also has a great after care program which includes: Support Groups, Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, ect. I would highly recommend, if you’re considering Lap Bypass Surgery, make an appointment to see Dr. Mehta, I could not have found a better surgeon. He saved my life.*
