Hello. My surgeon was Dr. David Kim and I had surgery at Forest Park Medical Center at Dallas, Texas. Dr. Kim is fantastic and made the experience so much better than it could have been. He is very experienced and has an extremely good bedside manner. The hospital was state of the art. I would highly recommend surgeon and hospital to anyone.

Hi - my surgeon was Dr. Carlos Paiva in Asuncion, Paraguay. I stayed in San Roque Hospital for 3 days. I highly recommend him -- he was excellent as was the medical care. (Oh, didn't think of this -- no one spoke English -- maybe rudimentary -- that wasn't a problem for me, but maybe for others.)

My surgeon is Dr. Nowzaradan and I am having my surgery at University General Hosptial. My doctor was featured on TLC/ Discovery, as he performed weight loss surgery on the Half Ton Teen. I really like him and his staff is very caring! He is a revision specialist, so that was very important to me since I have lapband complications. I will let you know more after my revision.

Dr. Mohammed Jawad, Ocala, Florida. He and his staff were wonderful! They are professional and caring and made it as pleasant an experience as can be expected.

My surgeon was Dr. James Davidson, surgery was at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. ( he has the Center of Excellence stamp of approval) As previously stated, Forest Park is a state of the art private hospital for cash pay patients. Dr. Davidson's insurance patients are treated at Presbyterian Hosptial in Dallas, which is an excellent hospital as well. I highly recommend him as well as his entire team, they're a great group!!

Dr. Fang, St Luke's Medical Center in Phoenix. He is very quiet but good. He is very kind. =)

The hospital was good though I wasn't there long. =)

Dr. Suni Cavasos was my surgeon, and the surgery was done at Foudation Surgical Hosipital in San Antonio, TX. It was a really nice hospital, private and all the nurses/tech's were excellent as well as Dr. Cavasos.

My surgery was done by Dr Lee Scmitt at St Vincent's East Hospital in Birmingham, AL. The staff at both the doctor's office and hospital is wonderful. Both doctor and facility is a Bariatric Center of Excellence. My insurance requires that we have to use a center of excellence facillity to be covered. :D We have a monthly support group which is great.
