Surgeon Testimonial

Nilesh Patel
I really like Dr. Patel, his manner is honest and straightforward, he treated me like he had all the time in the world, and also since I'm a nurse, he treated me very professionally ( i'm sure he treats all patients like that). His staff is so great too.......they have alot of patience with me and all my questions.

My Story

My story--
  I was thin once, like when I was 10 ever since then i've been getting heavier and heavier, i'd be thinner once in a while, when i was seriously dieting and starving. What motivated me to start looking into and making the decision to have the RNY was  that I got some photos from my sister and was talking to my aunt about them, she mentioned how much I look like my mom, she said "you have the same body shape your mom did when she was your age."   Well guess what, she had a heart attack when she was my age and by the grace of god she didn't die.  I have 3 kids that I need to be around for.This year I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and hypertension, so i'm not really as healthy as I would like to be.  so after years of yo-yo dieting and starving myself, I'm gonna do this!  I'm excited, and jumping through all the hoops the doctors have set up for me. I have one more month to go with the dietician and hopefully that will be it.
