"I have not yet met Dr. Moody. I have an appointment for my initial consultation with him on April 10. I am nervous, yet excited at the same time. I was, however, very impressed with his receptionist. I have heard nothing but good things about him from other people in the Houston area. It did seem as though they would be able to get me in for a consultation rather quickly. I will update after my consultation.

Met with Dr. Moody. I thought he was AWESOME! The staff was very nice. I felt at ease the whole visit. He seemed very knowledgable. I found out while I was there, that he will not be performing the surgery himself, but another doctor will. This was a little disconcerting, since he is the one I had done my research on, but he put me at ease about the changes. He said he would still oversee the operation. They think they can do it laproscopically, which is totally cool. He seems to be very on top of things, and is quick. He said once I get insurance approval, I should be able to schedule a surgery date for no more than a month later... I am not so sure about their aftercare program, but I do know that he wishes to see me for follow-ups. He did mention the risks in great detail, although he didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I would give him a fantastic rating. I would think surgical competence would be more important than bedside manner, but he displayed both to very good.

Pre-op. Dr. Glorsky is wonderful. He was able to do my surgery lap. I have lost over 25 pounds from date of pre-op. I am on my way. Dr. Glorsky's bedside manner is awesome! I am so grateful to have had this opportunity."
