Dr. Sampath is the surgeon that was assigned to me through the Richmond Metabolic Program. He explained both the procedures, the gastric sleeve, and the gastric bypass. We were under the agreement that we would do the gastric sleeve with the fact that I had a very low BMI of about 38 at the time. He has been a great surgeon, and he is quite friendly and does a great job at the surgery that he does. It hasn't been an easy journey, but Dr. Sampath does explain carefully what he does, and what is expected of you! If you want a great surgeon, he is great, and willing to help you! For more information regarding the program, if you're in British Columbia, you can look at www.rmbsurgery.com Hope that you have good success with him too! The stats that I have are at my high weight, I was 327lbs, when I went for my thyroidectomy I was 286. When I went for my consultation with the bariatric program, I was 236lbs and then the day before my first surgery it was 219lbs. When I was seen in consultation for my second surgery, I was 176lbs. Today I sit at between 156 and 165. Below is the picture of me through my journey. The one close to the face photos was when I started at my highest weight. Then the picture in the top right was how I was at Christmas time of this past year! And the two facial pictures, one happened in Sept 2018, and one was before I had my weight loss and thyroid surgery.
