Surgeon Testimonial

Eliot Sieloff, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. S was a very good one. He's knowledgeable, kind, soft spoken and he makes sure you know everything you need to know. Him and his office staff are AMAZING!! They are very diligent and make sure you are taken care of. If a problem arises They are VERY good at taking care of it ASAP!! There's nothing I didn't/don't like about Dr. Sieloff. Future patients should know that he will do whatever it takes to take care of you and guide you through the process. He's realistic and he treats his patients like real people, he addresses the risks and assures you he and his team do everything to minimize those risks. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Sieloff and his staff, Jody his nurse is amazing and they are so in tune with their patients! He's not only a VERY competent Surgeon, but his bedside manner is amazing!

Frustration
posted on 9/29/10 9:34 am
I went to my 6 month appointment today and the good news is I've lost 106 pounds, but the bad is that I have to have exploratory surgery next week. About a month ago I started getting really bad nausea and pain where my gallbladder used to be. CT scan didn't show anything, 2 trips to the ER and all the ER Dr. could come up with was residual pain from my GB surgery and because I'm losing weight and things are shifting it's causing pain. I tell this to my surgeon today and he doesn't think that's the case.  He says that something is causing these symptoms and it's not the weight loss. I've been in constant contact with him and his nurse over the last 2 weeks and they aren't sure what's causing the pain but something is so to be safe he wants to go in and look around to see if anything's not right, plus he wants to do another endoscopy. So, three surgeries in 6 months! As much as I don't want to deal with this, I'm glad my surgeon is persistent about finding the problem and making sure I'm OK. I've been put back on soft foods and liquids for the last two weeks and It's extremely frustrating but I signed up for this and all the exciting things that come along with it! As my good friend says WLS is a lifetime, all inclusive package deal!
