Dr. Brad Watkins - Gastric Bypass?

Has anyone in the Cincinnati area had Gastric Bypass with Dr. Brad Watkins? I see he does a lot of bands and sleeves, but I haven't seen anything from anyone who has had the bypass. I have an appointment with his office next month and I don't want to waste my time and copay if it's not something he does.

He did my lapband, wonderful dr. My understanding is that he does all types of weight loss procedures. Unfortunately for me, the band was not successful as I had several band slips. So I went to Mexico to have my band removed and a mini bypass done. Doing better, lost 20 lbs so far.

He did my sleeve, but I know he is pretty well known for all procedures.

He did my sleeve but I don't think he took enough out. I started at 291 and 10 months later only 260lb I saw is Dr assistant and he didn't seem concerned??? I was like are you serious...so I will be going to another dr to see if my stomach is small as it can be....SORRY MINE WASN'T A SUCCESS..His nutrionist didn't help me much...I like to go to Dr Curry group is nutriounist did help and now I am getting back on track...Good luck!

Dr. Watkins doesn't now nor has he ever performed gastric bypass. He feels it's too invasive when you can lose as well with the other procedures available.
