Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

NO ONE knows Dr. Stephan?!?! Scary thought...



Recommended Posts

I have had no replies about Dr. Stephan. Is that a sign that I shouldn't use him? I would LOVE to go to Dr. Snow, but he's almost $5,000 more! Is it worth the extra $$$ for his reputation? PLEASE REPLY!!!

Not everyone banded is on this site. Ask him for references and call them personally. Or ask to go to one of his support group meetings where banded people attend. You can also look at the reputation of the hospital he works with. Just keep researching in multiple locations and you will find your answer. Good luck. Celeste

Hey!

Thanks for the advice! I've been pointed to Dr. Barker also. If he's close to the same price, I think I may go with him. I have 2 appontments to inquire, one is with Dr. Snow and th eother Dr. Barker. I think I may cancel the one I made with Dr. Stephan. Again, thanks for caring enough to reply!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
