I hadmy surgery with one of his partners Dr Bagloo. All the Columbia docs are great. I know people who have used the others.

I was sleeved 7 months ago by Dr. Bessler and he was and still is great. Bessler is one of the top surgeons in the country. I love that he doesn't sugar coat his words he tells it like it is. I couldn't ask for a better experience during my journey.

That's exactly what I liked about him too

I originally wanted a lap band and saw Schrope. She recommended sleeve due to complications and such

Then I found out she was out of network for my plan. And the office put me with bessler. He was very straightforward and to the point and why didn't I want rny. He was also against the lap band unless I felt completely certain that was what I wanted.

So sleeping it is with bessler. Now if they'd ever give me a date .......;

My procedure with him was simple, quick and painless - even though he first removed the band THEN performed the sleeve. He is quick and efficient... what more can you ask for... still rated one of the best, btw!

I also had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bessler and his group. Can't recommend them enough!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
