Indiana University Surgical Weight Management Center Bariatric Center

My boss refered me to him. He is a very caring and helpful man. He explained evertyhing to my husband and I in great detail. I am excited about having the surgery. I think he will be great.

First impression - good. very nice and explained things well. Told me to really think about this before making final decision. Impression has not changed. Office Staff- nice and helpful always resonded quickly. Liked Least - The Dr. didn't offer any background info. on himself regarding bypass surgery experience. Aftercare - A post-op diet paper was sent to me, but it doesn't cover after 8 weeks. I spoke to a dietian at the hoptial but I don't think he was familiar with this surgery. I was told by the nurse at the hospital that I was the first gastric-bypass post surgery patient that they have cared for. I was given a solid food breakfast on day 4 and had to argue with staff that I could not have it. They also tried to give me friut drink 10% juice and lots of suger, I told them it had to be 100% friut juice wtihout sugar. There is no aftercare program.
All surgery risks were explained to me. I rate the Dr. a 8 on scale of 1-10. I would say bedside manner is better. A little concerned about surgical competence secondary the the blood loss I experienced.
