"My husband and I met with Dr. Boe on August 22, 2000 at Bariatric Treatment Center in Belvidere, IL. He is young and very nice. I felt comfortable with him immediately, which is unusual as doctors tend to intimidate me. But he answered all my questions, not that I had many as I've studied so much about WLS that my list was rather short. He drew a diagram of the surgery on a board and described the procedure very easily to us both. He set my husband's fears at ease as up to that point, he wasn't real sure about going ahead with WLS. I think Dr. Boe and I are going to get along JUST FINE! My surgery date is Nov. 1, 2000.
My surgery is over now and I'm 5 days post op. What a great guy Dr. Boe is. He was so gentle and kind. If any of you pre-ops in the Illinois area are considering WLS and wondering just where you should go, BTC is the place!!! That's what the specialize in and they know what to do for every symptom, from a gurgle in you stomach to major pain (which I have to say...isn't all that bad!)!! Go for it pre-op friends!!! It's a fabulous experience!!"
