I am married with 3 children: b-8, b-5, g-1. I am a home business owner of a bakery.
My starting weight was 296 and my surgery July 14, 1999 with BTC
in Columbus and my surgeon was Dr. James Viglianco. My hobbies of course are baking, camping
walking. I have interests in crafts.


Surgeon Info:
Dr. Viglianco, was very kind, to the point, and very thorough in his explanation of surgery. He tells it all the good and the bad. Which I think needs to be heard. The staff at BTC was so helpful, and very kind. I really cant think of anything that I did not like about the doctor. I mean really he saved my life, he took very good care of me. He is in the BTC of Columbus. Very knowledgeable and people have given very good reports of him too. Besides myself.lol The group follows up with you and call you to make sure there is no problems or concerns. Overall I am very happy with the group I chose. They were great thru the whole process. And no problem is made to make you feel like you are complaining. They check it out. Both surgical and bedside manner was great. I had open rny.
Insurer Info:
Medical Mutual Of Ohio, Med Select
They really didnt stall, but they requested more information ( a 5 year weight history) which got lost so I faxed it to them and had an answer the next day. Then waited for it in writing only about 5 days. Pretty easy process, very easy to work with. Just be prepared for more information to be requested. Have all your medical records at hand. If I hadnt had this at hand, it would of taken much longer.
