Anyone have WLS at Johns Hopkins?

Hi! I have a consultation scheduled for weight loss surgery at Johns Hopkins Univ. hospital. I know it's one of the best hospitals in the country, but I was wondering if anyone has or is planning to have their surgery with their bariatric team. If so, what were your thoughts? How did your consultation go?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I had my surgery at Hopkins Bayview. I was very satisfied. My doctor was Dr. Adrales and I was very happy. The consultation was very detailed and everything was explained. Depending on your insurance requirements, there will be hoops to jump through but it is worth it. I am just 3 weeks out and have lost 25 lbs from my starting weight.

I was admitted on a Wednesday and discharged on Thursday. My only complaint was that I was ready to go back to work the following Tuesday, but my doctor wouldn't release me. I was fine...with no pain, but I had to weight for my 2 week check up to be released.

My primary care doctor actually told me that Johns Hopkins was the first to perform this surgery - you will be in good hands.
