"I had my first appt with Dr. Dy the beginning of August, 2002. Dr Dy was quiet , but very nice. He went over the surgery both lap and open and said i would be a candidate for the lap.He wanted to make sure my family was also well informed of all the risks and gave me the information on his orientations and support group meetings. His office staff, Beverly and Dawn were also very very nice and did not mind the ton of phone calls i made to them. We attended the orientation mid-August and he presented a "slide-show" and answered a lot of questions.He let everyone know he had only done 11 of the procedures(and i was ready to be the 12th!)The hospital he works out of is Community Hospital of New Port Richey. It took about a month to get all my letters and evals together (PCP, Chiro, Psych, sleep study)and Beverly submitted the request for authorization on Friday 9/6 and on Tuesday 9/10 she called me and let me know it was approved!!!!! My date is scheduled for 10/9, i have to go in to Dr Dy's office on 9/19 to go over everything again, and bring a family member and i am going to attend a support meeting prior to surgery and meet some of his post ops. I went to another Dr.s orientation also, but i was very disappointed when he did not give it, but had one of his office staff present it. So i decided to stick with Dr. Dy and i am confident that he will do everything perfect! "
"the hospital stay was terrible, the nurses had no clue about bariatric surgery. its ashame that Dr Dy who is such a wonderful surgeon uses such a poor hospital."
