I had my gastric bypass surgery in January 2010. At the time of my surgery I weighed almost 380 pounds. Over 12 years later I weigh 225 pounds. The pre-surgical counseling, the surgery and the post surgical assistance has been instrumental in my recovery. After five months post surgical I was down to 205 pounds and found that to be too late. Over the years I have settled at 225 pounds. This surgery gave me my life back and the power to choose what I eat and when I ate that I had previously lost. If you are lost in the challenge of eating and losing weight I most heartedly suggest the surgeon in his team. They saved my life and the quality of life I now have would not be possible without them.

Dr. Krahn performed my gastric bypass surgery in 2004. At that time I weighed 355 lbs. I had lost weight several times in my life but it always seemed come back. Today at the age of 77 I weigh 180 lbs. I don't think that I would be alive today without the surgery and I have always credited Dr. Krahn for making that possible. I would do it all over again without any reservations.

For the first time in my life I have kept the weight I lost off for almost a year (reached my goal in Feb 2017). Thank you Dr. Krahn and staff at the Riverside office. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes. I have my health and energy back. From attending initial the seminar to having the sleeve at Parkview the office staff was on top of what I and they needed to do to make my journey successful. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

I had my gastric bypass surgery done in 2015 by Dr. Krahn. I can't say enough good things about him, Dr Chinn and the whole staff. Dr. Krahn is very dedicated to his patients. When I had my surgery in 2015 I weighed in at 268 pounds. As of today March fourth,2017 I am down to 135 pounds. I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Krahn and his staff. Any time I had a problem or question they were there to help. Brooke, Jennifer and Stephanie are the bomb!!! Thank you Dr. Krahn for giving me a new life. If you are considering any type of weight loss surgery I suggest you go see Dr. Krahn. Believe me when I say you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Krahn and his staff have been wonderful to me. I was able to get to my goal weight of 135 in just 6 short months after having the RNY. I had surgery 2 1/2 years ago and have maintained. The staff walked me through everything from what to eat before & after surgery to classes they offer after surgery, as well. The support you get from Western Bariatric is unfounded in this industry. I had friends who had surgery elsewhere and were left all alone with no direction. Make sure you ask about a procedure ONLY Dr. Krahn does called the silastic ring. It will not only help you get to your goal faster but keep you from regaining the weight. I love my new life. THANK YOU DR. KRAHN, DR CHIN AND STAFF
