Dr. Sampath Surgeon Review



Recommended Posts

Dr. Sampath is the surgeon that was assigned to me through the Richmond Metabolic Program. He explained both the procedures, the gastric sleeve, and the gastric bypass. We were under the agreement that we would do the gastric sleeve with the fact that I had a very low BMI of about 38 at the time. He has been a great surgeon, and he is quite friendly and does a great job at the surgery that he does. It hasn't been an easy journey, but Dr. Sampath does explain carefully what he does, and what is expected of you! If you want a great surgeon, he is great, and willing to help you! For more information regarding the program, if you're in British Columbia, you can look at www.rmbsurgery.com Hope that you have good success with him too!

The stats that I have are at my high weight, I was 327lbs, when I went for my thyroidectomy I was 286. When I went for my consultation with the bariatric program, I was 236lbs and then the day before my first surgery it was 219lbs. When I was seen in consultation for my second surgery, I was 176lbs. Today I sit at between 156 and 165. Below is the picture of me through my journey. The one close to the face photos was when I started at my highest weight. Then the picture in the top right was how I was at Christmas time of this past year! And the two facial pictures, one happened in Sept 2018, and one was before I had my weight loss and thyroid surgery.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
