I have my RNY revision from Lapband scheduled with Dr Patel for June 26th. However, I am not happy with his office staff whatsoever. They are never the same people, the wait time for appts are horrendous and the insurance and scheduling folks are very unprofessional. So, I have an appt tomorrow with Dr. John Pilcher to see if I like his office better and I may switch doctors. I hope your experience is better than mine at Dr Patel.

Oh my gosh, I've had the same problems with his office staff....I have a whole thread about it on rants and raves. his office staff had me in years today...i was ready to just say screw it and not do surgery at all!!

Today, I had a appt with Dr Pilcher and it was AMAZING!!! What a difference the staff and professionalism makes. I would highly, highly, highly recommend his office. I am on cloud 9-today.

Oh gosh. I am going for my 1st appointment at Bariatric Solutions this week. I chose them because their reviews were all 5's. Now I am a little concerned. Maybe I should cancel for another place?

You should meet with them. I'm having Dr. Stowers do my surgery. The staff has been great, very informative, and always available. There's so many Dr out there and I know it's hard to choose. For me I wanted a Dr that primarily performs weight loss surgery. Not sure if that matters but it was one of the criteria I used to help my decision. I'm linked to realself.com where I met someone who used Dr Stower also, and she had a great recovery and results. I've been on a 6mos diet with their nutrionist for insurance approval. Scheduled for April 25th. Good luck on your decision.

I'm scheduled for May 17th with Stowers! Your surgery is tomorrow!!! Are you nervous?? How's the liquid diet??

I'm from DFW. Dr McCarty did a mini sleeve on Feb 10. I'm down 51lbs. His staff is awesome, and I highly recommend you check him out. His procedure is out patient, and no restrictions afterwards.

I'm here at the hospital now. I'm actually not too nervous. But that's just how I am about things. Not sure where your faith is, but I trust in God and prayed for protection. I pray that you have a safe and speedy recovery. The liquid diet was not bad. I started a day early so a total of 8days. I've been practicing sipping for 2 months now and did not realize that I wasn't drinking enough water. Dehydration has caused constipation which is something I don't want to deal with going into surgery, but I'll be fine. You are more than welcome to connect with me if you have any questions. I will try to keep posting if I'm up to it.
