Jonathan Aranow
"When Dr. Aranow walked into the conference room I thought, \"Oh my goodness, he looks about 12 yrs old\". By the time he was done with his lecture, I was head-over-heels in love with him, and he was wise beyond his years (and I'm a great judge of surgeons as I have had 14 surgeries and at least 5 surgeons). rnrnThere is nothing that I do not like about him or his staff.rnrnYou can be assured that Dr. Aranow has tremendous experience in preforming Gastric Bypass and Lap Band surgeries and I am very impressed with what his patients say about him at the support group meetings. He and his staff have a great aftercare program, in my opinion. His aftercare program for lap band is very good compared with some of the other doctors that I've read about in the forums.rnrnAt his informational lecture, he went over very carefully all the potential risks of the surgeries as well as comparing the gastric bypass with the lap band surgery- risks and benefits of each. rnrnWhen I had my first visit with him, he took all the time needed to answer all of my questions and concerns. I have an extensive medical and surgical history. He said I would be a \"challange\" and he said he loves challanges!rnrnI have heard that some of his patients say he is arrogant and his bedside manner is a tad less than desirable. BULLCRAP! You should see my famous bowel surgeon in Manhatten! What an arrogant son of a gun! (he was always nice to me, though; but I've seen and heard him talking to my hospital roommates and he has no bedside manner. You better be good if you are going to be that arrogant). rnrnNo, when it comes to Dr. Aranow, he's just peachy. Don't get me wrong, if he thinks you are not following the rules, he will tell you to fly right. That's what we need, right? I believe he will pull no punches with you and will tell it like it is- no surprises. That is my opinion.rnrnHonestly, I have to rate him a 20... on a scale of 1 to 10. rnrnHe saved my life by refusing to do the GB on me. He explained why it would be very dangerous- because of my past surgeries. It is because he explained in great detail- that I agreed with him and did not have surgery by either of the 2 other surgeons that said they would do the GB on me. If I listened to them, I would have doomed myself to a horrid life of constant dehydration and probably IV's, too. rnrnI love my lap band, my surgeon and LIFE!!!rnrnThanks to Dr. Aranow and his staff.rnrnrnrnrn "
