Dr. Bobby in Palm springs California



Recommended Posts

I had GS surgery with Dr Bobby Bhaskar-Rao in 2017. The attention I received was amazing! I moved across country and he still reaches out to me to check in, and I can contact him or Courtney the NUT anytime! He took great care and concern and if I had it to do over again, there is no doubt that I would! If you are looking for a surgeon in SoCal, I recommend going with him. I even drove over an hour each visit because I felt better with him than anyone that was local!

Did you have to have a ton of classes before he allowed the surgery? Whereill I live In Kansas we are doing self pay as our insurance will not cover the procedure- even with self pay I have to do 8 weeks of classes, a psych evaluation, as well as a battery of tests. I do not mind the tests and such but I really need a band removal to gastric bypass or mini bypass to help manage my diabetes. My band has made me miserable. Even after seeing the specialist here in wichita, they still want me to go through classes that I had when I did the band surgery all for a removal and bypass!! and we have to pay for each of the classes ...

I did not take a lot of classes. I went to an information session, then a meeting with the doctor and the nutritionist. I had a psychiatrist eval, met with doctor again, and then he scheduled my surgery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
