I've used Dr. Hahn for other surgical procedures and was more than pleased. I've had a consultation with him about RYN (which is all he did at that time) while he was still in practice in Orange, TX and found he and his staff to be helpful and knowledgeable. I've also been looking into the Bariatric Center at Christus Hospital in Beaumont. Please let me know if you've used someone else and how it went as I'm just now starting the process to be approved for Lap Band (i.e. 6 mth doctors visits, diet and

medication counseling and weight loss program). LOL Can you tell I have BCBS?

dr. hahn did my surgery in march of 2006 and i lost 100 lbs. he is a great dr! he is very kind and patient. he isn't arrogant at all and his staff is wonderful. he is willing to do anything for his patients and answer any questions. i went to dr. spiegel at first and i found him arrogant and i felt rushed. dr. hahn is the opposite. i love dr. hahn and his staff! they also did my mom and my aunt's gastric bypass about 8 years ago and they are doing great! i'd recommend dr. hahn to anyone in southeast texas!

Meg, I have used Dr. Hahn in the past for a cyst removal surgery and I liked him also, I had spoken with him in the past about gastric bypass (my husband just didn't like the procedure) and I'm seriously thinking of changing. I hate to since we have already spent the 1000.00 with the Bariatric Center but I'm withholding judgement until I see how well they receive my sign off from the other doctor. I see my PCP this monday to schedule my EKG and any test she feels are needed. After that I only have one more appointment for my 6 months and I'm good to go.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
