    Choosing a Hospital

    Either one with those scores I would trust. Most surgeons work with the same anesthesia provider for all their cases, they know who they trust, and someone who knows their routine. You can ask the office who it will be, and ask your surgeon if they routinely work with the same person. Looks like your in good hands and your doing your part Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App How did you find the scores for the hospitals. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Who Is Your Surgeon?

    I was also refered to HF detroit, not that particular doc though. Did you have any problems? , swallowing, acid reflex?? Any info woyld be,appreciated Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Hi shelbys mom - I have had no problems at nearing 3 years post-op. No regrets either. Never an issue with swallowing and since I had surgery, I have no longer experienced acid reflux (which I had pretty bad prior). I am currently 8 months pregnant and still to this day have had NO heartburn. Up until I became pregnant, I had no issues maintaining my weight loss. Now I am gaining for the baby, but mine has been totally within normal range and I am confident I will be able to lose it once baby arrives. Any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out! Always happy to discuss VSG! Thank you. This is all good to hear. Dr carlin was one doc thar was reffered to me, also dr. GAWNAU. Have u heard of him? I,think he is dr. Carlins partner, not sure. Im 57 and a bit scared, my bmi is 34, which mt ibsurance say 35 and up. However I have high BP, the beginnings od arthritis in my knees. So no regrets???
