Surgeon Testimonial

Darren Tishler, M.D.
He was very claming, made me feel comfortable and didn't made a remark on how bad it is to be heavy , but let me know there is help. Every time I see him I feel more comfortable. He lets you know he really cares about you as a person and he is there for you. His staff is just as wonderful. I have given his name and number to many of my firends and they know I must like him because I don't like doctors.When ever you have a question and you call they will not push your call away they will answer you. I would rate Dr.Tishler and his staff and everyone at Hartford Hospital Bliss 8 all wonderful, caring, loving, and they a A # 1 100++++++ rn THANK YOU DR. TISHLER

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have tried all different diets. I would lose about 20 lbs. and be super happy then I would gain 30-40 lbs and get depressed and gain more.

I still have...
posted on 9/29/08 9:59 pm

I still have the jeans I wore in Dec.2006...I got banded 4/30/07 and I looked in my closet the other day and found the jeans in the back of the closet and OMG!!! I forgot how big I really was. I took them to work and to my daughter's house to show off. I will figure out how to put pictures up now that I have a printer/scanner. By the way since 12/06 I have lost 101
