Wow, I am in hampton roads and have been approved for surgery with the same doctor. I am still on the fence if I want to go through with it or not. Your story really scares me. Your story is the first negative thing I have read about her. Can you provide any more info about her and your hospital stay?

Hi asifitsthelast - I am doing very well. How are you doing?

Hi erikh - I was aslso sleeved by this surgeon. It went very well for me. I think she did a great job. She has a very good bedside manner.

I had a hard time making up my mind whether to have this surgery too. I have to say, I am very pleased. I am down 44 pounds post surgery (Feb 13, 2013). I couldn't do that on my own. The first week after surgery I have to admit that I questioned myself why I would do that to myself but it gets better after that. The main thing is to follow instruction and take care of yourself. Check out this forum all the time and read as often as you can. I lived on it (and still do) to learn as much as I can before and after surgery. Some parts will be scary because things do happen but the majority is good news. I had to do this surgery because I was tired of being abnormal and unhealthy; I also couldn't do it on my own. All is getting better all the time. I wish you luck in your decision and surgery if you decide to do that. Feel free to ask my anything you want. I will be glad to help.
