Surgeon Testimonial

Michael W. Blaney, M.D.
My first impression was that he was a kind and sweet person and seemed to care so much and was very interested in putting me to ease and answering each of my questions as if there was no one else waiting on him. rnrnMy impression of him has not changed. He is so personable. I am so thankful everyday to have met him. rnrnHis office staff is great, especially Bryn (the nutritionalist). Amy, who works for the hospital, is especially wonderful also.rnrnI can't say that there is anything I dislike about Dr.Blaney. He is very down to earth and doesn't sugar coat anything. He is willing to give you his time and doesn't act like he has to run out of the room even though he is running behind.rnrnHe reminds me over and over again to attend the support group meetings. He emphasizes to never hesitate to call for any problem and that it's important that I keep my appointments.rnrnVery structured aftercare program. He, the office staff and hospital have worked very hard on their bariatric program and it shows.rnrnAs I said before, he is straightforward. There are risks with any surgery, even minor and he points out those that are specific to the surgery you are having. He requires that you buy the book \"Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies\". He can't make you read it, but you are only hurting yourself if you don't. It's very beneficial.rnrnOn a scale of 1-10, I would rate him a 10.rnrnI didn't watch him do the surgery (thank goodness), but from what I'm seeing in myself and his many other patients, he is highly competent. His bedside manner is the best of any physician I've dealt with and I've been working in healthcare with physicians for 28 years now.rnrnI can't say anything negative about Dr.Blaney or his staff because I have truly not experienced anything negative.rn

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
My weight problem began in jr high. It's been a see-saw since then. Mine has been a combination of lack of activity and food addiction. I medicated myself with food for years. Back and knee problems complicated matters by not being able to exercise strenuosly. I always thought that "one day" I'd be able to lose the weight.
