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.

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.
