I saw someone at my work who had Gastric Bypass from Dr. Averbach. After talking with her she peeked my interst so I went to the information session. I think the information session was very helpful, especially when it came to telling me what I needed to have done before my first Dr's Appt so that I would be prepared. They said that the average time from start to surgery is about 2 months if there are no problems. I had my doubts about it though.I meet with Dr. A and didn't feel to good about how it went so I started to have some doubts. I started doing some research, talking to people on the boards about my Dr and other Dr's. After all the great advice I decided to stick with my Dr's. It seems that alot of people had the same concerns that I did in the beginning but they said once you got to know him he opened up. I also sent him and another Dr two similar emails. Dr. A replied right away and answered all of my questions. The ohter Dr took a week and avoided my questions.
During the pre-op testing process my EKG test came back irregular so that I had to do the stress test. That came back ok so I was cleared for surgery!!!!!
