If you have dealt with Scottsdale Bariatric could you please let me know your experience with them? I have a friend who's mom went there and raves about them. Everything I found while researching them looks good :smile2:. I guess I'm just a little nervous and would like to hear if people loved them or didn't have such a good experience. Thanks!

I looked into them. Dr. Robin Blackstone was the #1 Bariatric surgeon in Phoenix Top Docs 2009. I know several people who went there and had very good results. I decided not to go with them just because I wanted to meet my surgeon prior to surgery (I guess you don't meet her again after the seminar until a couple weeks before) and develop somewhat of a rapport. I also didn't feel that they would "hold my hand" through the process with the insurance and everything (and yes, I need my hand held). Also, I read some recent reviews that claimed it was taking longer and longer to get in for fills and aftercare (which in my opinion, is the most important part). I think she's a great surgeon...I just need more support. That's my opinion, hope it helps.

      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.
