Weight Loss Surgery Patient Testimonial

Description

Patients Tina and T.R. discuss why they chose to work with Texas Center for Bariatrics & Advanced Surgery in Plano, TX, for their weight loss procedures. Tina says she chose Dr. Chen because he was the first surgeon she talked to who cared about actually answering her questions and not just getting surgery booked immediately. We take our time to ensure our patients receive the right treatments to help them thrive.

WEBVTT 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:12.895 I chose Dr. Chen because of the level 00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:14.540 of conversation that I got from him. 00:00:14.565 --> 00:00:18.400 I had gone to different and spoke to different doctors in 00:00:18.425 --> 00:00:22.040 different clinics, and they're all in a really big hurry to do surgery, but not 00:00:22.065 --> 00:00:25.380 answer a lot of questions or really take you down that path of 00:00:25.405 --> 00:00:27.060 truly changing your life. 00:00:27.085 --> 00:00:30.920 Recovery for me in the beginning was a little rough, 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.140 but having said that, I would do it again. 00:00:33.165 --> 00:00:38.180 I had a heart attack two and a half years, three years ago, and 00:00:38.205 --> 00:00:44.700 have been on cholesterol medication and blood pressure medication and 00:00:44.725 --> 00:00:49.940 all sorts of stuff, and I'm no longer taking any medication. 00:00:49.965 --> 00:00:51.820 My blood pressure is controlled. 00:00:51.845 --> 00:00:53.940 Everything is really great. 00:00:53.965 --> 00:00:59.260 Improvements for me, I didn't have a ton of health issues, but energy. 00:00:59.285 --> 00:01:04.800 Through the roof, it's fun to buy new clothes and stuff 00:01:04.825 --> 00:01:07.410 like that, so it's really been amazing. 00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.290 Started this whole thing at 400 pounds. 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:12.740 As of this morning, I'm at 260. 00:01:12.765 --> 00:01:17.160 Able to move around, I go up and downstairs running, and I'm okay, and I 00:01:17.185 --> 00:01:22.760 don't stop at the top and have to sit down and think about calling 00:01:22.785 --> 00:01:24.900 an ambulance or something. It's been great. 00:01:24.925 --> 00:01:30.280 I am somebody who speaks the gospel of bariatric surgery to whoever will listen 00:01:30.305 --> 00:01:34.140 to me and of Dr. Chen and of this whole entire office. 00:01:34.165 --> 00:01:37.140 It almost feels like a honeymoon period again. 00:01:37.165 --> 00:01:39.920 We've been together a long time, and it's nice.
