"I met Dr. Touliatos, Sept 13, 2007 I went to the seminar on that day I weighed over 300 lbs. I did not know what I had gotten my self into. I still could have backed out but something made me stay and I am glad I did. I made my appointment for Nov 5. 2007. rnNov 5, 2007 my first appointment I walked into the office with the idea of having the lap band however Dr. T had me changing my mind to the RNY I am glad I did. The staff was great in helping be getting me ready to have my surgery with in the month. I was ready to have my surgery on Dec 11, 2007. I was totally scared but Dr T prayed with me he explained that all would be ok. I was so relaxed by the time it was time for me to go to the operating room that I was calm. rnNow that is has been 6 months post op I've had very little problems just some throwing up but Dr T came to the rescue he did an endoscopy and fixed the problem. rnI would have to give Dr T a 10 plus on the scale of 1-10 in my books he is the greatest.rnThe only bad thing I have to say about Dr T is that when I call his office I get transferred to the voice mail. I sometimes have to make 2 phone calls to get my questions answered. rnrn "
