Darcy,

Hey I know Dr.Chua as well. I initially was going to have him do my surgery. Unfortunately, he wasn't in my network. I've been to his office. I do understand what you mean about his staff. Other than that, Dr. Chua was very soft spoken and informative person. I first saw him at a presentation on 7/03. I meet him again in his office in Feb. 04.

However, my co-worker had Dr. Chua as a surgeon. She was banded in Nov. 03. In fact, I spoke with her today she tells me her skin is flabby. She needs to get more exercise in to tone up those muscles.

Hiya,

I love Dr. Chua... his assistant.. Dr. Rudic is also wonderful! It is unfortunate that the staff doesn't put forth the same effort to be friendly and helpful. It's almost as if they are afraid to be nice??? Fortunately my contact with his staff will be pretty minimal from this point forward.

Dr. Chua's experience level and success rate really helped lower my stress level when going into surgery and I would highly recommend him to any person considering WLS.

I'm hoping that if I exercise on a regular basis that I will be able to avoid the hanging skin... crossing my fingers!

Take Care...

Darcy
