"I met with Dr. Boe on June 7, 2001. I know what to expect with the RNY procedure. My Dad had his surgery in Jan. of this year and I went through everything with him. I told Dr. Boe of my experience and explained that my husband was the one that really needed the consultation and reassurance that this is the right thing not only for me, but for our family as well. Dr. Boe carefully explained everything to us. He was called away about 5 minutes into the consultation because a female patient of his needed his attention in post-op. He explained, after he returned, how this woman had something suspicious on her overies he found durning surgery. This was very comforting, knowing Dr. Boe checked into it. No one really knows what's going on inside them unless someone takes a peek right? Dr. Boe was detailed in his explaination regarding the surgery, the risks, the after care, the new me that will emerge. He did say that it wasn't always successful, that I would have to do my part as well. So far, I have nothing but nice things to say about Dr. Boe and the office staff were very helpful and caring. I am also encouraged by the comments regarding him on this site. (thank you to everyone who is candid and truthful about their experiences.) I will let everyone know how things progress from here. (Still waiting for approval).
8-28-01..>I can't say enough about Dr. Boe. First, my incision is only 4 1/2 inches long. Surgery was about an hour and 10 minutes and his bedside manner is wonderful. We were laughing and joking for 10 minutes before surgery. I liked the fact that he was wearing a scurb hat with cowboys and horses. My best friend Alex was in there with me when he was there and the whole 10 minutes made me so calm. Is is a wonderful, caring man who took very good care of me. The hospital staff were wonderful as well. I had an amazing experience and I can't thank Dr. Boe, Baratric Treatment Centers and esecially the nurses at the hospital for the wonderful experience and care you gave me."
