I really valued the honesty of Dr. Boustany. He made positively sure that I was doing this for the right reasons. My overall opinion of him is he is a great doctor and surgeon. His staff is very helpful. If anyone should go to him in the future, he is very upfront about the risks and statistics of death with or without the surgery. He told me "if you are doing this to become a G.Q. model, you should rethink this very hard. However if you want to be healthier and live longer, I think I can help you." He couldn't emphasize aftercare enough. He wanted to know if I haad any pain, drainage, etc. I would have to say, bedside manner and surgical competence are both important, and Dr. Boustany has both.
DR. WOHLGEMUTH AND HIS NURSES HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT. IN MY CASE IT WAS A RUSH JOB BECAUSE OPTIMA ISNT PAYING FOR THIS SURGERY AFTER JANUARY 1, 2002 SO THEY HAD ONLY 1 MONTH TO PLAN EVERYTHING INCLUDING GETTING IT APPROVED BY MY INSURANCE CO. THAT TOOK LESS THAN A WEEK.
Pre-Op:
He was very easy to talk to, very positive, but also very realistic. He gave me a large packet of information that contained diets, articles and info on the surgery. He was very honest and open that I would have to take the initiative to exercise once my surgery was done.
Operation:
What a god-send! He was so AWESOME!! His bedside manner is so incredible, and trust me I'm VERY picky. He came in to the pre-op area and held my hand, was very positive and upbeat. When I was wheeled into the operating room he held my hand until I was completely put under. My mom loved him, he was out right away when we were done and briefed her. We'll see how things go post op. He is wonderful, I will give his name to a million people without a second thought.
