"I felt really at ease with him..office staff was great..ins approved in 2 days..scheduled \"set-up\" appt trying to find out exactly what that entails.. no info from staff say just depends on what Dr. wants..wanting to find out if have to go on any kind of diet prior to surgery still no help overall though, i am very satisfied with Dr Hannon and every confidence in the world with him he explained risks which are higher bcuz of many med problems but also bcuz i have had hiatal hernia surgery, so they would be operating in same area..just waiting for gastric bypass now Had RNY surgery May1, 2009 surgery went very well, spent the first night in ICU and moved to reg.floor on Sat. morning Couldn't get 64 oz fluid down in hosp. Dr. wouldn't let me go home on Sunday but was able to go home Mon. afternoon. The nurse made f/u appt for May 7. Ist f/u appt went great, also met with dietician at this appt. Had lost almost 20lbs by then. Next F/u was May 28,2009 down 30 lbs, Next f/u on August 27,2009 down 51 lbs, doing great Next f/u was scheduled for Nov 12 but had to cancel, rescheduled for Dec. 03,2009. Down 75 lbs, got a B-1 shot and since I will be gone for one and a half months he went ahead and gave me the B-12 injection today, too. Next f/u scheduled for March 4, 2010. Dr. Hannon says I look great and am doing really good. Told him I want to get under 200 lb, told me there would be no problem with that.I am just too impatient at times. "
