"I cannot say enough good about Dr. Baggs! My surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) was December 21, 2009. Originally, I was going to have the Roux-en-Y, but Dr. Baggs was concerned about my abdominal adhesions from prior surgeries. After discussion with him, we opted for the sleeve as a "Plan B."
Dr. Baggs is professional, caring, supportive, intelligent and seems very up-to-date about bariatric procedures. He encourages questions and patient participation. He addressed all questions about risks and all concerns my husband and I had. He has made excellent suggestions.
So far, I am finding the aftercare to be excellent. Again, all questions answered, and caring, yet highly professional AND an excellent sense of humour!
I have found I rather like the Kaiser Richmond Bariatric office and support staff, too. All are warm and supportive and very courteous to deal with.
The only possible complaint I had was when I was in the hospital at Richmond; my first roommate tended to have numerous visitors who were extremely loud. Fortunately, I did not have her for more than a day. Nursing and housekeeping staff were great, and very helpful. Noisy roomies cannot be helped."
