I'm Joe Cribbins.
00:00:07.845 --> 00:00:11.780
I'm a board-certified bariatric surgeon
with almost 25 years of experience
00:00:11.805 --> 00:00:13.340
in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas.
00:00:13.365 --> 00:00:16.860
I became a bariatric surgeon because
I enjoy changing people's lives.
00:00:16.885 --> 00:00:21.380
Back when I trained at Northwestern, I was
doing open gastric bypasses as a resident.
00:00:21.405 --> 00:00:24.980
When I got out into practice, I was
doing all sorts of general surgery.
00:00:25.005 --> 00:00:30.920
I was doing vascular surgery, amputations,
gallbladders, hysterectomies, decubitus
00:00:30.945 --> 00:00:34.060
ulcers, pretty varied practice, actually.
00:00:34.085 --> 00:00:37.420
But what I really found that I
liked was the bariatric patients.
00:00:37.445 --> 00:00:39.700
They were very excited to have surgery.
00:00:39.725 --> 00:00:42.140
No one's ever excited to
have their appendix out.
00:00:42.165 --> 00:00:43.980
I enjoyed the consultations.
00:00:44.005 --> 00:00:45.500
I enjoyed the surgeries.
00:00:45.525 --> 00:00:46.680
I find them fun.
00:00:46.705 --> 00:00:50.735
I find them challenging, and I enjoy the
experience afterwards as the patients lose
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:52.360
their weight and their
lives change for the better.
