I would really research the hospital. I was supposed to have surgery there by Dr. Parvez and my surgery was cancelled 3 times and the last time the hospital lost there anethesologist. I know that a new Dr.; bought the hospital and it is the Digestive Center, or something like that. I would be very careful. I heard a radio commerical about the hospital and it said that you can have surgery in as quickly as 2 weeks. Please feel free to e-mail me [email protected]. Also check out the Dr that is doing your surgery. PLEASE E_MAIL ME

Hi there. I had wls on 11/13/00 at sanger general hospital in sanger. Dr. Parvez did do my wls . He is an excellent surgeon, his offices have been terribly inorganized, but I would let him do any surgery on me! I am a nurse and totally checked out his background . I know that Sanger hospital is SMALL, and it has no emergency room, etc. but when I had wls there, I found it to be very clean. I have lost 125 pounds and feel great. I needed to have wls quick due to insurance issues and he is the quickest to get into. he does the open rny, but my incision is only 2 1/2 inches long. great job! I understand he moved to a new office in Fresno and does these wls' at several different hospitals now. My good friend was his first wls patient and she is doing great also. I would do it with him in a heartbeat and if I ever need a hernia repair or tummy tuck, he will be my first choice, definitely. please email me. [email protected]. I also had my wls date changed a few times also, but it wasnt the doctors fault, it was the liv lite company's fault. think positive. say hi to the dr. for me! Lisa
