"This surgery was the second time i have had GBS. the first time was 12 years ago and i lost all the weight and kept it off for 10 years. then i started to gain the weight back. Dr. Patel is VERY knowledgable and is one of the few doctors that do repairs AND he does it laproscopically. I was and am very impressed with him and the success i have had so far. the office staff is okay...some better than others. Aftercare seems to be more on my shoulders. If i call they try to help, but seem to be overloaded. "
