"I haven't had my surgery yet but Dr. Scarbrough is awesome at putting you at easy. He did my endoscopy in clearance for the surgery. One minute we were all talking and the next I was being woken up in recovery. He talked me down from the Lap-Band ledge and talked me into the sleeve. He took the time to explain to me the sleeve and washed away all of my fears about getting the sleeve itself. His office staff is amazing. The only thing that wasn't in his office was the psych evaluation. Everything else from vitamins to nutritional classes are right there. And if you have to be stuck in a waiting room THIS is the one to be stuck in (rarely happens). His office is on the 9th floor and over looks the museum district.
They have a very detailed aftercare plan and at your pre-op appointment they schedule you for a free class called the First Bite class to attend after your 2 week follow up appointment. They breakdown what you can having during your 2 week pre-op diet and are very detailed in the post-op diet.
I had my VSG on December 11, 2013. Dr. Scarborough came in while I was in the pre-op area getting my IV and getting prepped. He calmed my nerves. I was in the hospital overnight and he made sure to check on me twice (I was out most of the time). He even called to check on me the day after I got home. His bedside manner can't be beat. I went for my 2 week post-op visit and was very disappointed that I hadn't lost any way. He assured me that I was still healing and my body was adjusting to the weight lost during the pre-op diet. "
"The nurses were so amazingly great. I had a pain pump so I didn't have to call them for any pain meds but when I needed anything like ice chips or Zofran the were pretty fast about bringing it. They showed me how to unhook the leg compressors. They were so positive and helpful! "
