"The nurses are very good about helping you get up to walk. They are friendly and treat you well. It was helpful for me to have another person stay with me because she was able to get out of the room to get information when I couldn't. "
"I met with Dr. Althar for the first time in 1999 when for gallbladder surgery. On May 28, I met with him for consultation for the RNY. He said that he could definitely perform the surgery laparoscopically, and that although I didn't have high blood pressure or diabetes now that I would without losing weight. I feel comfortable with him, and his staff is great."
