"I met with Dr. Caruana on June 7th. I have researched WLS for the past three years. His facility/Office is absolutely wonderful. Includes a conference room, cafe and work out area. Personal trainers are available before/after surgery. I was totally inspired and felt good when I arrived. I did not feel out of place as many people who carry the extra load may in many offices/buildings.
I have seen the work he has done and was able to speak directly with some of the post op patients. I made up my mind January 2005. I called his office and they were very helpful offering information needed prior to seeing the Dr.
I Online course required. I had a Behavioral health evaluation and have the support of my MD. Dr. Caruana and staff were very thorough and extremely helpful in assisting me obtain the needed paperwork for the initial consultation. I liked him and he answered many questions and concerns I had. I did not feel rushed.
I am waiting to have some testing for clearance ie. a dopler, nutritional evaluation and consultation. I am required to attend a support group meeting next Tuesday with other possible surgery candidates. I am anxious to begin this journey as soon as possible."
