Dr. P. Choban Not a surgeon at BTC In Ohio as of 1/13/04

Dear Members: I am one of Dr. P. Choban's recent patients. She is on Sabbatical from her surgery practices and will return to her work at a disclosed time later in the year. If you are still interested in Dr. Choban's Surgery experiences, please be patient and stay in contact with me. I will be posting where and when she will return to her duties. Best wishes for now: Mr. John H. Wetzel [email protected] [email protected]

Thanks for passing this long, John. Do you know why she's not practicing for now? I am one of her patients, you'd think BTC would've sent us this information. ~Jessi

I am a candidate for WLS through OSU, and it is my understanding that Dr. Choban is coming back on board with the OSU Bariatric Team. I am currently taking some classes with a dietician (Beverly Maselli) involved with the Bariatric program, and she told us the news last week. Amy Newman [email protected]

Thanks Amy. I wonder how this will effect my appts now. It really bugs me that BTC didn't notify us.

John, Thanks for the info. First I had Dr. Kaczmarski with BTC Ohio, than was given Choban. Now, I have been given Dr. Barbara for my Post Op Appt. on January 30th. Please let us all know when Dr. Choban returns. Thanks, Sandy Pierce
