Dr. Peter O'Brien in Sioux Falls??



Recommended Posts

Hi~

I'm from southern Minnesota and have heard good things about Dr. Peter O'Brien in Sioux Falls. A friend had him do her band and my sister and I just went to his informational meeting. I have an appointment scheduleld with him on Nov. 7 and am looking for anyone who has been his patient and any feedback they can give.

Emily,

Hey there! I had Dr. O'Brien do my surgery in Sioux Falls in August. Can't say a whole lot about him other than I came out of surgery alive! The only problem that I have had with him is that I am a teacher and it is hard to get away from my job to go to Sioux Falls for my fills He usually only does fills on Tues. and Wed, hence the fact that it is hard for me to schedule I wish you luck, keep me posted!

Hi, Jessica~

Thanks for the reply! Dr. O'Brien seems very business-like...his reviews from patients all seem very positive. I go in tomorrow for my first appointment with him, so we'll see how it goes. I know they do surgery in Minneapolis, too, but I haven't heard positive things about there. I'm 3 hours from Sioux Falls, and it will be a hassle to go over there, but I have super insurance and if I don't do this now, I never will. Hope things are going well for you post surgery.

I am not familiar with Dr. Obrien, but Dr. Andrew Reynolds in Mitchell, SD is an excellent surgeon and doctor. I don't know if he would be an option for surgery for you, or for fills...just thought I would pipe in and say Hello!

I don't know much about O'Brien, but I had Dr. David Strand in Sioux Falls with surgical Associates and couldn't ask for a better doc. He has great bed side manor, really works with you when you are having to go in for adjustments and I can't say enough about his nurse! Both my husband and I used him! Great DOC!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
