Surgeon Testimonial

Alfredo Fernandez, M.D.
I choose Dr. Fernandez for RNY. Originally, I had another surgeon in mind I went to that surgeon's seminar which was very brief and to the point. I did not feel a connection with him. I was not convinced and started having second thoughts. A few months later I was referred to Dr Fernandez by a friend. I attended his informational seminar. From the moment I got there I was impressed and confident in his skills. This man truly care for his patient. I learned in more detail about the lap band and RNY. It was very informative and providing all the information I needed to decide which procedures I wanted. Dr. Fernandez welcomed questions. I've heard only good remarks about him and look forward to my next step in WLS.

Pre-Op Appt-- 04/18/2008
posted on 4/18/08 7:08 pm
Today I went to the hospital and signed several forms: consent for procedures, etc... I asked a few more questions since this is my first surgey. I wanted to know what will happen from start to finish. The nurse was very pleasant, and patient with me. She encouraged questions and that made me comfortable. There's one thing that made me mad. I was very clear with my physican and the hospital --- when I requested the time for my surgery. I asked for early morning 8-9am. I was told 9am. Then it was changed to 10am. Now, they have me scheduled for 11:30am. If they change it one more time I might request another date. I don't want to worry all day over this. I want to wake up, go in, have it, and be done with it. So, Monday I have to be to the hospital at 9am. Get antibotics and everything prior to surgery. I'm praying that everything goes as well--smoothly--- as it has so far. I will keep posting!!
