I used Dr John Dietrick on Bruce B Downs in Tampa. He is right next door to the hospital - Florida Medical. I love this doctor. He does not discharge you from care like Mose do after a year. He likes to follow his patients much longer. I am 100 lbs lighter! He does blood work periodically to check your Vitamin and other minerals levels and watched for malabsorption. My surgery was 3 yrs ago, and I still see him every 6 months or so if I have any concerns

WOW, you are looking great.

Thank you for the reply. Dr. D has great reviews and it is down the street from home, a big plus. It is great to see your amazing progress and how the Dr. stays in touch with you, that is nice. I wanted to visit Dr. D as he is 'in network' and nearby, but from what I gathered, he does not perform the DS surgery. If I decide to not go for the DS, I'll give him a call.

Not many doctors offer the DS and this makes finding one near you a challenge, even harder to find a good one with great references.

Anyhow, thank you very much for the reply and the great info.

Hi, all! I know that this thread is old, but I am also looking for feedback on Dr. Chavda. I am in the middle of the process to have my DS, hopefully in October 2017 and I am wondering if there is any new info that anyone cares to share.

What surgery did you have?

How was your hospital stay (in Brandon)?

How is the aftercare with the Dr. and the office staff?

Were you fully satisfied with Dr. Chavda?

Thank you!
