I had my RNY 9-8-2009. To date, I have lost 113 pounds from my peak!
Dr. Ganta was the second surgeon I visited. The first was with a large surgical group here in Austin, and I just didn't feel "the fit." After meeting with Dr. Ganta, and thoroughly exploring my surgical options, I decided he was the right man for the job.
Very quiet and unassuming, he is an excellent technical surgeon. He is also very to the point, and was helpful in providing enough information that I could make an informed decision on which procedure I wanted.
The office staff is very helpful, even though there has been a changeover in a couple of positions.
I would like to commend Emily and Pam for actively resurrecting the AIBL support group, and strongly advise anyone considering bariatric surgery... [Click here for more] to visit the support group before surgery to visit with existing patients, and to continue as a member of the group as you progress in your new life! I think the support group was the one thing that was really lacking in my pre-surgery care. But there is definitely a move to correct that!

Dr Ganta is quite, he likes for you to make your own decissions (what procedure) but does discuss the reasons you made your decission. This way you have ownership in your decission. His staff is very friendly and personable, they would do anything for you. At no time did I question if I was doing the right thing. They all made me feel like I could do this and they would be there to help. Thanks. Posted on 04/29/2009 |

I checked out 2 other surgeons before picking Dr Ganta. Whereas I felt pressured to have one surgery or another, with Dr Ganta, he was VERY objective about each surgical option. In fact, I learned information from him, and I thought I was extremely well-versed in all the procedures! He gave the pros/cons of each one and didn't lean one way or the other. He spends one on one time with each new patients (rather than just a "seminar" filled with 50 people). He allows you to take as much time as you want to ask questions. The surgery went extremely well. In looking at his credentials, he seems to be very well trained. He just doesn't have surgical training; he has extra credentials in laparascopics and obesity surgery. I am in the medical field myself and felt very safe in his hands.... [Click here for more] His office staff is phenomenal; not only very friendly and supportive but very good at returning calls right away and getting administrative stuff done. The only slight negativity (and this is very slight - like a B- instead of an A) is that the nutrionist seems very young. I don't know if she's ever been obese before, and this makes me feel uncomfortable, although it may be a personal thing. rnOtherwise, I would highly recommend Dr Ganta and his staff.

I had RNY on 10/30/2007 and I lost 140 lbs.. Dr. Ganta absolutely saved my life by agreeing to perform this sugery on me. He has been nothing but professional and caring and always has my best interest and well-being at heart. When my weight loss started off slowly he showed great concern and was able to give me recommendations for what would get the weight loss moving. He has a very wonderful after-care program that works and he is very vigirous about the follow-up labs (VERY IMPORTANT). His staff is wonderful, kind and caring--always available if you need anything. rnI would very definately recommend him to anyone considering any type of WLS.rnrnrn Posted on 01/29/2009 |

Dr. Ganta is a wonderful surgeon. I had my gastric bypass surgery on June 10, 2008 and I haven't had very many problems. At first, I was a little tired but that is normal. Before having the surgery, I did my research on many doctors before I chose him. Everytime I go into his office for a checkup the office staff is always very pleasant and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Ganta. Posted on 12/25/2008 |

Dr. Ganta is a straight-forward guy; Very professional. He knows his stuff and he was very patient with me when I asked silly questions, or I had concerns to address. He reassured me that there wasn't anything he hadn't already heard, and I will get all the information I need. So far, I have. His staff is very friendly and they are great at remembering who I am when I visit or call. Posted on 11/07/2008 |

I found that my surgeon very informative and courteous. When I first went to him, I wasn't sure about him because he was a bit abrupt but now I find that he has a sense of humor and is very competent in his field. He has been easy to work with and listens when I talk about my issues.rnrnI will have more updates as they year progresses. Posted on 10/31/2008 |
