Charles A. Svendsen
"11/17/2009: I am currently one year post-op (my surgery was on 11/11/2008), and I have lost 174 pounds since I went in for my first bariatric consultation at Park Nicollet in February of 2008. I feel great and I have had no side effects! Dr. Svendsen is an AWESOME bariatric surgeon, and the Park Nicollet bariatric program rocks! I was totally treated like a Rock Star during my two days in the hospital BEFORE, DURING and AFTER my surgery! 10/01/2008: After seven months of dietician appointments and other related examinations required for insurance approval, I was approved by BCBS of Minnesota in just three days after I was submitted! I went in today to attend the pre-surgery class that one of the bariatric nurses at Park Nicollet (Barb Johnson) holds. I also got to meet my surgeon for the first time - Dr. Charles (Chuck) Svendsen. My wife was also with me for this visit. Here are my first impressions. Dr. Svendsen is very detail oriented and very, very honest. He gave me very candid, honest up front responses to all of my questions. And he was able to back up his information with hard statistics that he seems to have very strong command of. To be honest, my first meeting with Dr. Svendsen put me at ease for my upcoming surgery, if not a little more anxious to have the surgery day come sooner. After this appoinment, I got my official "before" picture taken for the Park Nicollet Bariatric Program archives. I also got my surgery date! Tuesday, November 11th. I can't wait!"
