I am waiting to hear back about transferring there. Dr Diaz is who my friend recommended. I started at Community North but it's just not a good fit.

I had the exact opposite experience with Dr Cooper's staff. His 'main nurse' is rude and condescending. They openly admit to having printed copies of posts in FB groups even posts by people who are not their patients. That's at the very least unethical. I'm glad you are happy with your experience but in no way would I recommend Dr Cooper or his staff.

Is it when eating or drinking? On the FB groups they say it's common to have some cramping/tightening if eating too fast, or too dense of a food for what stage you're on. Also common if trying to drink things that are too hot or cold. But call your surgeon just to be on the safe side.

Bumping this because it looks like I'll be getting sleeved in 2017! I see just about everyone on this thread has gone through St Vincent Carmel or Mexico? My top 3 choices are Community North, Johnson Memorial and Columbus Regional. I called and spoke with someone at the St Vincent program and just didn't get the feeling it'd be a good fit communication wise. What insurance did everyone use? I found out on Friday I am preliminarily approved for Hip Plus, which is a huge blessing since employer sponsored insurance specifically does not cover bariatrics or medical weight loss.

I'm just outside Greenwood, hoping to have my surgery in July 2017. Just found out my new insurance should cover it, so still looking at things and trying to decide on a surgeon/hospital.
