Question re Dr. Douglas Bishop - Ottawa

I am wondering if anyone has seen or is a patient of Dr. Bishop.    He is a weight managment doctor here in Ottawa. 

Has anyone ever broched the subject of WLS with him?  And if so how did he respond?

Thanks

Julie

A lot of bandsters see him for their follow up and they all love him.  They say he is very supportive of WLS but have no idea if he is biased to some of them over others.   I recently met him and he is a wonderful guy that really seems to have his patients best interest at heart.  I was at a bandster function when I met him so of course we never discussed anything but lapband but he truly seems interested in helping anyone with a weight problem.

He's very willing to help with WLS....

Dr. Bishop is one of the nicest doctors you could ever meet.  I was a patient of his about three years ago and still receive his weekly email.  He is supportive, genuine and listens to you.  As far as weight management goes, his approach works well.  I can't say enough good things about him. 

I am still seeing Dr Bishop after my RNY just for support.  He is a fantastic dr who will give you advise weight issue, support and encouragement.  I would recommend him to anyone one who has a weight issue. He suggested WLS to me after many years of struggling....very supportive,

Hi Julie,
Dr Bishop is a wonderful supportive doctor for WLS. I intially went to him asking about RNY then soon changed to DS. He didnt seem very happy that I had changed my mind from RNY, but he supported me once he saw how serious I was and that I wouldnt change my mind. He had only had one person prior to me who had went for the DS, but she/he only had the vsg done and was satisfied, so they didnt get the whole procedure. Dr B, sent me for testing to help prove my case to OHIP and he filled out the forms and faxed them for me. 
I wouldnt hesitate to contact him. :)

Thanks Theresa and Aurah.  I am meeting with him tomorrow.  I did follow his program last year and had lost 25 pounds but had since gained back the 25 initially lost plus another 20.

I have an appointment with him tomorrow at 3:00
