Hi there :) I'd LOVE to go!  Are there still seats available?  Am I able to bring a guest?  How many people are expected to be going (so I know how much "snack" to bring)?

Thanks!

Well, I don't want to scare you at all. What happened to me was very rare and Dr P was even confused for a bit. I had the RNY, and about 4 weeks post op, my old stomach was fighting my newly made stomach on who was in control. Kind of like my body was rejecting my new tummy. I was throwing up anywhere from 10-15 times a day. I was throwing up so forcefully that I was vomiting mucus from my intestines. I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks at Gateway. I am doing better now, thank God! Dr P put me on strong anti-nausea meds (for chemo patients) and I have to go have another scope down my throat to make sure things are improving. If you have any more ?'s, don't be afraid to ask. we are all here for you

I was at Dr. P's last week (follow up from complications)and they are going nuts over there getting the Center of Excellence to go through. It took me about 3 weeks to get a surgery date set up once insurance approved it. Be patient. I know its hard. And after surgery, anything you may need or have a question about they are great. I had several complications since the surgery in mid January,and Dr. P and his staff were awesome. Best I could have asked for. But I am on the "good" road again, and finally doing better.

W1 I understand completly! I wish you good luck and tomm. I am going in for a visit and am going to express my concerns as well. Everyone tells me what a great surgeon he is though and I guess that is what matters most at the end of the day!

 I too am hoping to go with Dr. P. I really like him and he has been responsive and helpful in trying to help with my insurance nightmares.  Today, however, I spoke with Eileen and was so upset by her curt, rude responses that I emailed Dr. P and explained that if I am wasting his, mine and their time pursuing what I'd like with him, to please tell me and I'll go elsewhere. I've found Dr. P and Donna to be wonderful. The other ladies I've worked with - not so much. 

I am beyond frustration and am at the brink of going to Mexico.
