Dr. LePort and his staff are very encouraging and accommodating. When I decided to have this surgery, I had a deadline for this year, as we have a paid-for cruise early next year. Both Dr. LePort and his staff worked to get me approved and into surgery before my deadline date so I'd have six weeks post-op before my cruise. My husband came with me to my initial visit with Dr. LePort, and we were both given all the risks and complications of this surgery. Everything was explained well (and we'd done our homework, using this site as well) without any unrealistic promises or scare tactics.
I have not meet him personally, however have
heard wonderful things about him. The
support group meetings are fantastic and I'd
recommend them to anyone looking into wls.
There are great examples of all stages of the
surgery. Even people that had the surgery
over 4 years ago - now that's an inspiration!
I meet Dr. Le Port on 11/11 so will update
more then.
Update: My appointment on 11/11 got changed to 11/12
due to an emergency. When I got to Dr. Le Port's
office today, I was told I needed to go over
to the other office due to another "emergency."
My appointment was at 11:15 am and I was seen
at 1:00 pm. I realize that this wasn't planned
however, couldn't help but be annoyed. The
staff was very accommodating and when I finally
met with Dr. Le Port I was very impressed.
I feel as if I'm in very capable hands.
HE WAS VERY NICE.HIS STAFF WAS GREAT, WORKING HARD TO GET ME APPROVED.
HE HAS A WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUP.HE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SURGERY. I TRUST
HIM WITH MY LIFE.

Very honest, takes the time to be with you to explain anything you don't understand.
Is never in a hurry to get rid of you. Has a good bed side manner. Quite in a group but one on one he is very open. Cares
about his patients and will not do anything that will harm them. I'm glad I found
him.
I am pre-op. So far all of my questions have been answered completely. Office staff was friendly and knowledgable. Has a Monday night support group, so far I am impressed and willing to proceed with this surgeon. I have very little in the way of comorbidities, but request has gone to the insurance.
My first impression of Dr. LePort was really positive! He was very kind and didn't look "too" busy for me or my questions. The office staff is a little scarambled, I know they have lots of clients but they really need to communicate better! I would tell anyone who chooses Dr. LePort to be on top of their own paper work and appointments. The group is very good at helping you to remain focused on all the risks and how the proceedure will change you and every part of your life. I would really enjoy working with Dr. LePort and his staff!
