Can anyone give reviews on Dr. Halmi? I dont have a surgery date yet, will be at the beginning of the new year. (waiting now for over 2 years for a surgery date..... dumb insurance company). I'm so beyond excited to finally be getting closer! Any advice is welcome here

I will be sleeved by Dr. Halmi next month. I know several people who have had surgery with him and they rave about him. I will be having my surgery at Fair Oaks.

I just had surgery with Dr. Halmi. Revision from sleeve to bypass. I had the upmost confidence in him. He made me feel so comfortable and confident about the surgery outcome. His whole staff is fantastic.

@ awesome! My first surgeon was Dr. Dockins but he switched different practices. So I was switched to Dr. Halmi. I really liked him so far!

Good luck@Ski66. I'm sending you good wishes, surgery with no complications and a speedy recovery.

I had RNY on 10/12 @ Fair Oaks as well. Dr. Fitzer is my surgeon. The hospital is great! They took goo care of me. Please keep us posted.

Had surgery at Fair Oaks yesterday. Doc says X-rays looked fantastic and I will e goiter home tomorrow. The pain from the carbon dioxide is the worst part. I just keep walking and it's pretty much dissipated.

Sorry @WhiteSand. Did you have the surgery? How are you doing? How's your recovery and eating?
