Last week someone posted a comment about their horrible experience with Dr. Nilesh Patel and the post appears to have been deleted. Does anyone have any experience with this doctor they can share? I would hope that the Dr.'s staff did not get this persons post deleted and if they did how many other negative post have been deleted.

You've had two posts. Both are trying to negatively impact doctors. Really,we're not that stupid. We know a troll when we see one.

Excuse me but you are rude and nasty!! You have no idea what you are talking about. I am in the process of getting prepared to be sleeved by Dr Patel and am looking to get others experience with the doctor. The only person that is negative is YOU. This site is supposed to give people support, guidance and advice; which you are definitely NOT doing. Get the Hell off my post. If any one has any experience with Dr. Nilesh Patel please share.

come to my posts gamergirl... I have Cookies... er... um... I mean low-carb Protein shakes.

TexasZ, I haven't noticed negative posts relaying first hand experience about a doctor being deleted here, but if you contact a moderator by PM, they may be able to answer your question about if the post was deleted.

Thanks darling. I've been wanting some cookies..er...um...I mean shake anyway

Lol I hate to mess up a good fight...

But to the op do you remember what she said about her experience, I almost think I remember it...

The post was about a leak she had and the Dr. ignoring her complaints and her overhearing a discussion between a nurse and another Dr saying they are always having to correct Dr Patel's sleeve surgeries. I am in the processing of being sleeved in November by Dr Patel and this has me nervous and I wanting to know if anyone else has had this type issue with Dr. Patel. It appears the post has disappeared. I believe the post was made last Thursday.

If I was wrong I apologize.

Laura, Thanks so much for the insight. Ever since I read her post last week I have been worried and not sleeping well and then when I went to look for it again and couldn't find it I thought that some how the Dr had requested it be deleted. Had me freaked out. I have to stop reading these negative comments and put my trust in GOD. Thanks!!

You should be able to ask your doctor direct how many leaks has he treated and if he is good he will tell you. I asked mine and he told my he had ONE leak in the last 6 years and it was because the day the patient went home she used a c- pap machine to sleep with.

But the bottom line is ... Always always follow your gut instinct because more times than not it is always right. Get a second opinion for a doc. If you where approved by insurance I don't see why you wouldn't get approved with a different surgeon. Your doing the right thing asking of patients their experiences because they would know first hand vs a doctor office telling you what you want to hear. I went to two doctors and I decided to go with the one I felt comfortable with plus there were patients on this forum that used him and had great things to say about him.

I am 6 days out and so far so good.

Good luck with young decision.
