"I had been to the support meetings at the hospital (Rancocas Valley Hospital)just to see what was what. Dr Wasser was speaking that night and I was impressed by what he had to say. I listened to him as well as to the many patients, pre-and post that were there. I set up an appointment with him that night with Deborah.
Deborah is the BEST and keeps the office moving. She is like a whirlwind of energy and knowledge and freely admits " if I don't know, I will find out and call you back", and she always does.
The visits to Dr Wasser we quick and to the point. Once I recieved my approval from the insurance the date was set for approx 3 to 3 1/2 weeks later. The surgery went very well and I was quite pleased as to how good I felt. Dr Wasser stopped in 2 times for about 2 minutes each. Happily, one of those times was to release me from the hospital and remove the drain. Yeah !!
I think I expected to see more of the Dr while I was in the hospital. I have never had any hospitalization prior so I think this thought was more of what I WANTED as apposed to the reality of just how busy the Dr's are.
As far as the aftercare...this was basically a list of what foods and vitimins to add and when. I do not feel this is enough. The office is in the process of getting a baritric nutritienist but at this time have been unsecessful. I feel that the help of a nutritienist at this point is VERY important to the overall sucess and well being of the patient. My overall impression...I would highly recommend Dr Wasser to anyone.The surgical competence IS the most important thing. I would rate him FANTASTIC.
