I had the gastric sleeve Feb. 6 2019 Dr. Chylsta was phenomenal! I have always had a problem with adhesions and that was my only hold up from having the sleeve done. I had been told by other doctors that I would have to have an open incision or it couldn't be done. Dr. Chylsta was very knowledgeable and his staff was supportive from day 1. I was able to have the surgery laparoscopically and was home the next afternoon. I call Dr. Chylsta the Adhesion Whisperer. My only regret--not finding Dr. Chylsta sooner.

Dr. Chlysta is very personable and thorough. His explanations and answers to questions are complete and understandable. I was nervous to see him and he immediately made me feel at ease like I was an old friend. He has a great sense of humor.
