""The following comments are just my personal impressions of my own personal experience and I am not making any statements about what other people may experience":
At first I had a very good impression of Dr. Anez and his staff. They were very nice and supportive. Over time though(2yrs), everything started to go bad. My post-op weight loss was only about 30lbs total. Finally, after 12 months of waiting & begging for a revision he very pleasantly and compassionately agreed to help me. But, when my insurance company requested further information, Dr. Anez's staff refused to respond to their request. When I insisted they respond to the insurance, I received a call from his staff the next day telling me that Dr.Anez thinks I should get a second opinion and recommended Dr. Roll. When Dr. Roll returned my call, he was very nasty, unprofessional, and flat out rude!!!! He told me right over the phone that he will not perform the surgery on me and that he didn't have to explain why. He told me I was probably overeating to the point of throwing & that was why I was gaining weight. (Note: I have never eaten to the point of throwing up!!) I asked him how could he possibly diagnose me over the phone. Then he said he could see me if I wanted to but he will definately not do a revision on me. "Even if I go up to 3001bs?" I asked him, crying and frustrated, and he flat out said no. My experience with both Dr. Anez and Dr. Roll has been very negative, accusatory, frustrating, slow, unsupportive, and painful . Of course all this is just bits and pieces of the whole story. Many other things happened with Dr. Anez's office; too many to list.
My pouch is streched, I weigh more now then I did when I had the original surgery, and they both adamantly refuse to do a revision.
If the surgery doesn't work, it's your fault!! If it does work, it's their miracle!!
I'm sure they are good surgeons, but they were not very supportive or compassionate in my case.
Conclusion: I would travel to another COUNTRY(!), before I step into Dr. Anez's or Dr. Roll's office again.
NOTE: I can't remember the nutritionist's name, but she was the only person who seemed to care.
