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.

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 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.

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
