I am very grateful to Dr. Mehta, Dr. Patel, Debbie and Lulu for a fantastic experience with my Roux N Y gastric bypass. I first attended Dr. Mehta’s seminar in May 2005, and got an appt within the next 2 weeks to come into the office. Dr. Mehta is a very professional, young and very handsome Bariatric surgeon. He and his staff made me feel at ease, answering all of my questions and explaining all the prep before surgery. I was approved for surgery for Aug 3rd and I was overjoyed. I looked at it as a second chance for a healthy life style. I am a diabetic and I have seen what that disease did to my older relatives. Dr. Mehta explained that diabetes would no longer be a problem for me after the gastric bypass; this was the main reason for my surgery. It’s only been 11 days after my surgery and I have already lost 12 lbs. My goal is to reach my ideal weight of 120 lbs and stay healthy and fit for life. I intend to attend support group meetings. Dr. Mehta has annual picnics and holiday parties too. My experience with Dr. Mehta and his staff has been wonderful so far!!*
