"10/11/01 - I met Dr. Thomas Chua today for the first time and I just want everyone to know that what you have (or will) read about him on this website is absolutely true. Dr. Chua is kind, caring, wise -- and very experienced. He has been doing WLS for over 30 years and he has a wonderful "track" record. We decided that I would be a good candidate for the Lap RNY/proximal. I am comfortable with Dr. Chua as he spent a lot of time with me and he had infinite patience in answering ALL of my questions. He has recently established a support group (out of Sinai Hosp in Milwaukee) as well as a structured aftercare program. He was extremely thorough about addressing not only the pros but the cons of each surgery. I appreciate his honesty and candor. I think his bedside manner will be very warm and understanding -- and I am confident that his surgical skills will be exceptional. His office manager, Tammy Lynn, was as nice as I had read she would be. All in all, both Dr. Chua and Tammy Lynn took what could have been a very scary experience and made me feel comfortable, secure, and most of all good about myself for having decided to pursue WLS. "
