"First of all this is my second experience with Dr. Caruana. My husband had the surgery a year ago and I have been through the the whole process with him. I like this MD very much. Even befor you try to apply for the surgery he makes you attend an informational meeting where he explains the whole surgical procedure and gives you all the pro's and cons, the side effects and what to expect and even the morbitity stats. He pulls no punches and gives it straight to you during that first class and tells you if you have any doubts this is not the surgery for you. He makes you work for the surgery, you have to attend nutrition and exercize classes and you have to hand in a complete profile of your dieting and health history. His office staff is very helpfull and friendly, they also are very much like Dr. Caruana no punches pulled. They enforce the idea that this is a serious procedure and it should be taken as such, and only want to deal with those patients that take it that way. After care is enforced he stresses exercize, nutrition, and follow ups for lab work, and general wellness. I trust him completely doing my surgery....I trusted him with my husband thats good enough for me."
