Surgeon Testimonial

Patricia S. Choban, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Wow, This lady is known and loved from here to the West Coast so I was very excited to meet her and it was a wonderful 1st meet! She is so warm,down to Earth, straight shooter and seems so one on one concerned for YOU! She makes you feel human and not less than. She takes this VERY SERIOUS! I think she'll have a great bedside manner. I hope. The back office staff are very friendly and outgoing.They are jovial and upbeat and very informative. I like that
I personally myself,don't feel the same however about the front office staff. They made me feel uncomfortable.Maybe it was just me, I was nervous. Perhaps they need a a few more employees up front to ease the stress.I wish they were as warm and kind as the back staff.Especially on empathy and communication.
I am confident that Dr. Choban will be as great as every one says she is.She is the most important part of my surgery after all.

I wanted to take a moment POST-OP to say that indeed Dr. Patricia Choban is as awesome as I thought she would be. This professional woman is an Angel in her right to the Bariatric community and I am sure she is just as awesome in any surgical capacity.
I was a little disappointed that she went out of town the day after my surgery but it all worked out and those she left in charge of me took great care of me and I came home without incident.Her honesty,wisdom,humor and true dedication to her patients shows the moment she walk through the door. I would recommend this Doctor to anyone with out hesitation.

2 YEAR Aniversary! 116 lost and ENGAGED!!!!!
on April 2, 2011 5:10 pm
Ok so, Update update! It's been 2 years on April 1st since my Open RNY. I lost 116 pounds and I am very happy where I am. I have maintained it and I must admit I am suprised at that. Doc says I have about 20 pounds of excess skin that could come off when I am ready. I really would like to have that done.
I sounded like a nasty bitter witch in June of last year! I guess I should feel terrible but that was how I felt but............
As of today, I am engaged to be married to my childhood sweetheart.
We literally grew up together. We became engaged on Christmas Eve last year and will be wed on September 18th 2011. So life for me has really changed lanes. I would have never believed it if someone would have told me this 2 years ago!
I do hope and pray that anyone that may come across my profile and is considering any type of weight loss surgery know that IT IS ALL WORTH IT! GO FOR IT!
And never give up on yourself!
Wishing everyone out there sweet and swift success!   Renee
