Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am moving to Prescott Valley for a year while my husband is over seas. Anyways.... are there any recommended Drs in N.AZ? I want to have one in place "in case" I need one. I am about 20 weeks pregnant and have 10cc's in a 14 cc band. So far all is wonderful!! i just need someone if I do need to have a bit taken out and to also check my band after I give birth. I prefer fluoroscopy if possible. Did I mention I love my band :)

I used to see Dr Berger in Flagstaff for my fills when I first got my band. He does fills under fluroscopy. I was self pay... I can look up how much fills were if you need that info. I completely forgot now, it has been over 3 years. I have since found a local surgeon in Tucson who does my aftercare.

It was pretty quick, in and out. They do all the fills on certain days and it was almost assembly line. He was nice, but I didn't feel like a patient... more like a number. It may have changed in the last 3 years.

I think Flagstaff is about 2 hours away from Prescott Valley. So a little bit of a haul. Closer than Tucson though!! Haha. I can't believe I used to drive over 4 hours one way for a freaking fill!! My new doctor is 15 minutes from my house. <3

**edited to add** Not sure why links aren't displaying properly? Here is a link though....

      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.
