Starting this process I originally went with Dr. Patel in San Antonio. I did all my testing went to the seminar. Long story short I felt like I was just a number. His office staff is rude and trying to ask for help or get questions answered is like pulling teeth. Gut instinct, I decided to switch surgeons and go with Dr. Sashidar Ganta here in Austin. Has anyone had the sleeve surgery with Dr. Ganta?

Though I never had any surgery by either of the surgeons you mentioned I do believe that the surgeon you end up selecting is of the upmost importance.

The surgeon/patient bond is sancisanct.

I am proud of you for having the insight to change when your "little voice" was telling you that "something was amiss". That took courage--really.

Keep posting and let us know how you WLS journey is going. We're nosy AND we care!

Prayers going up.
