"3/02 First consult with Dr. Yasrebi. Glad to talk to him, but he dropped my insurance. Due to my insurance delegating who I go to, I decided to interview a few doctors. Since Yasrebi is out, on to interview #2.... 9/10/02 Number two doctor... Dr. William Overcash. Through this wonderful communication tool (AMOS), I decided who could have more clout than the people who are obese? - so I chose to interview Doc Overcash. Aetna did give me a new approval number for this doctor. I just have to drive 80 miles for the consult!!! 10/7/02 Met Dr. Overcash - not impressed. He does have a quicker surgery date. Some ladies in my support group have been very successful and love Dr. Overcash very much. The meeting lasted 30 minutes and he explained the procedure and answered all questions I had. He did seem busy. He did get down to business quickly. After hearing publicly and privately about complications from some of Dr. Overcash's patients, I decided Overcash is definitely NOT the guy for me. Plus, I wanted laproscopic. 10/30/02 Consulted Dr. Jawad who does it laproscopically. Based on his statistics, education, public opinion, the length of time for surgery, his bedside manner, I chose him. He is a very impressive surgeon. I whole-heartedly trust him to do a wonderful job! The staff was very nice and have been very helpful! Their office was packed!!! My surgery date was longer than I wanted, but I will deal with it. 3/3/03 This is the exact day a year ago I saw Yasrebi - what a co-ink-i-dink! I AM SO GLAD I CHOSE DR. JAWAD! I CAN BARELY BELIEVE I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE TO DO THIS SURGERY. HE IS AN EXTREMELY SKILLED SURGEON! MINIMAL SCAR - MINIMAL INVASION - NO INFECTION - SURGERY DONE IN ONE HOUR - I FEEL GREAT! WHAT MORE COULD I HAVE ASKED FOR!? Only downfalls: --No great aftercare. Although I didn't feel a huge need for one - some people may. He does do follow up, but there is no "nutritionist" on board. ---He did not take out my gallbladder, but as a surgeon he is not allowed to take out organs that are working properly. I just hate to have to go through another surgery-type issue when this gallbladder and his stoney friends decide to multiply! lol "
