Pre-opt testing on December 10th and surgery scheduled for December 27th I have jumped through so many hoops, so many requirements. I am just worried something will go wrong on testing day and I will have to be re-scheduled. Has anyone or is anyone going to SVCMC? Dr. Chandra Hassan? I welcome any comments, advice or opinions! Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

I had surgery on Oct. 9th, 2013 by Dr. Chandra Hassan. RNY Bypass. I also worried something would go wrong on testing day, it didn't! Don't worry about something that hasn't happened yet! My surgery stay was of normal, the staff of Dr. Hassan's is excellent. You will be happy with everyting, I promise you, they are simply the best!. You have a great support system there. I myself could not handle the pain, so I had called and three days later was back in for pain management. Don't let that scare you though, everyone is different. I am not sorry I did this and am well on my way to being in better health. Any other questions,, ask please....You will be great!

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I am happy that things went very well for you! CONGRATULATIONS! Looking forward to your updates. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Good luck!
