I just had the mini sleeve done back on Thursday morning. I love Dr. McCarty. He's knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring. My insurance requirements were minimal due to my BMI. The staff is great. Nutritionist is nice and helpful. The surgery center I was at required an EKG and chest x-ray for clearance for anesthesia. Something was off on x-ray, so Dr. M got me set up for a CT scan quickly to not delay my surgery date. I was really concerned about that, but when I went in for my pre-op appt he reassured me that it wasn't anything he was concerned about. We just needed the CT report to satisfy the anesthesia dept. Sure enough, a couple days later, all was well and my surgery was on time. The first couple days were rough (gas pain is no joke and I kept having diaphragm spasms for some reason), but I'm getting better every day. No regrets.
