Impression hasn't changed, he's still very nice and great to work with.
Office staff is knowledgeable and quick to get you in.
Didn't tell me how bruised I could be and how much pain I could be in. Was kind of flippant about me being black from belly button to my hip. Other members on the floor that had him as their surgeon did not have the complications I did. I apparently bled a lot during the surgery.
Great explainations of the whole procedure, complications, risks, etc.
Emphasizes after care as extremely important. Can call coordinating nurse at any time or can call Bariatric resident surgeon at any time when office is closed.
Yes, aftercare program is well structured.
All Risks were explained Very clearly and asked if we understood each one.
Knowledgeable, personable, experienced with this surgery.
I felt both were great.

My name is Julie and I'm 42 years old. I have been overweight since 8th grade. My weight has risen and fallen over the years but I could never lose more than 15 to 20 pounds. As the years went by I couldn't even get that off. I had high blood pressure and my joints and back were killing me. I finally decided to look into RNY. My first consultation with my PCP I weighed 275. The day before surgery I weighed in at 269.
