Hello!!

I am going to North Florida Regional Medical Center for my seminar next Friday 3/16, and that is when they are going to ask me to chose my surgeon. A lot of people seem to recommend Dr. Timothy Hipp and he has been my first choice. However, I see they have a new surgeon as well, Dr. Geoffrey Roelant from Ohio State University Medical Center. Does anyone here have any experience with Dr. Roelant?

Im going with dr. Roelant. Any info on him?? I have basic info but always looking for more. How are you???

@@JG7882 I picked Roelant as well. They told me he is very nice and personable. My consult with him is tomorrow, I will let you know how it goes. =)

Great!!! Thank you!!

@@JG7882 Dr. Roelant was very nice and professional, and funny. I told the nurse, Pam, I had some anxiety because apparently the blood pressure machine was thrown off by it, lol, so they made me feel much better and the whole experience of the consult was good.

I am so glad things went well!!!! Lets stay in touch and if you want to exchange emails I will be glad to give you my email address.take care and keep me in formed. I start my liver shrinking diet on Monday.

@@JG7882 for sure, keep me up to date as well. I actually have a 6 month diet per my insurance so I won't be able to do mine until the beginning of next year. Let me know how everything goes. Good luck! One thing that he said that kind of struck me was "you are going to be freaking skinny", I haven't been "skinny" since I was like 10 so it was kinda boost, my goal isn't to be skinny, its to feel better and healthy but it was still nice to hear. He's very upbeat and motivating. Feel free to PM me on here any time too =D
