Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon



Recommended Posts

I had the band to sleeve revision by Dr. Bridget Holden in Colleyville, Texas. She was professional, straight forward and easy to ask questions. She removed the band and revised to a sleeve in an about an hour as outpatient. I was able to go home at 4 pm the same day. My recovery was incredibly easy after Day 1. I highly recommend her.

@@SandySwear im currently seeing Dietrick, he is amazing. Looking forward to getting my surgery date hopefully sometime in march.

My surgeon is Dr. John Dietrick of Tampa Florida. He is great - does mostly gastric bypass surgeries. So this is his stock and trade. Great program with multiple yr follow up for all his patients. Nutritionist on staff which is included in the fee. He is also capable of fixing other issues he may find - for me a hiatial hernia that I had suffered reflux from for years - now NO REFLUX! Surgery was at Florida Hospital Tampa - trained staff, caring and compassionate. Great experience. Would recommend him to anyone. OH by the way, I am a nurse - we know how to vet out surgeons! We only go with the best! Highly recommend him.

My surgeon is Dr Maleckas, had my surgery in Lithuania, at Nordbariatric clinic. I'd say overall it was a positive experience :)

I went to the Swedish Bariatric Center in Seattle. My surgeon was Dr. Brian Sung. They have ARNPs, Physicians Assistants, Dietitians & a psychologist. They, in my opinion are one of the most well oiled offices I have ever been to, from the front office to the aides, to the lab tech. I myself am a retired nurse who worked at a regional hospital and a specialty clinic, so I feel I can critique them. Highly recommended. Surgery went off without any problems.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
