Prior to surgery I weighed 280 lbs. It was quick and easy to obtain an appointment with the Mehta Bariatric Center. Dr. Mehta was confident and calm. He answered all of my questions and we began the process. I attended one support group meeting prior to surgery which introduced the personal trainers and plastic surgery available. I had my surgery on May 2, 2005 and have had a wonderful recovery. I did not use MBC’s after care program yet. I have lost 50 lbs in 11 weeks and I’m very pleased with the results.*
