Bay Area Bandsters - Dr Alami At Kaiser



Recommended Posts

Hi all, just had revision surgery with Dr Alami at Kaiser and I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He has a great bedside manner, asks a lot of questions, and really cares about the patient.

When the Dr got inside to fix my band, he found a lot of scar tissue. I think a lot of surgeons would have just taken out the band and called it a day. Dr Alami spend an extra hour in the operating room removing scar tissue and reworking my stomach so I could have a new band. He went above and beyond, and for that I'm very grateful.

If you end up with Dr Alami, you are in good hands.

Just wanted to give my two cents since I know many prospective bandsters will come here to look for recommendations.

Update: Just found out that Dr Alami is leaving the Bay Area to go back to his family home in Lebanon. I'm *very* sad as he was a true asset to bariatric surgery.

I'm getting follow up from Dr Li now, who is the Director of Bariatrics at Kaiser. He's not a very warm, friendly guy, but has a great resume. And the rest of the staff at Kaiser in South San Francisco are top notch.

      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.
