Met my surgeon
Jan 17, 2013
I went in for my surgeon appointment on Monday. I read the posts, etc. about the man and they were mixed, but all agreed he was the best of the best in this area. I personally liked him. He was to the point and answered all my questions. You could tell he has heard them all before and he was patient with me. What I liked was that he exuded a confidence that made me feel confident that he could fix my lap band/hiatal hernia/GERD issues, etc. etc. etc. How happy that made me - and his nurse / PA was great too. She took the fluid out of my lap band and immediately, I felt the medicine I took earlier that morning, go right on down. Arrrrggghh. I just need to see if the insurance will take care of the surgery, which would surprise me if hey didn't, because with all of the side effects I am having with the lap band, it will be either revision surgery, or visits to the ER since the issues just seem to be getting worse.
