Dr Brad Watkins Uc Health Cincinnati, Oh



Recommended Posts

Was banded by Dr Brad Watkins May 25,2012. I live in NE Indiand an hour north of Fort Wayne IN. When I was researching where to go I did alot of watching YouTube videos , obisity help.com you name it I was reading. I knew that I had a doctor in fort Wayne IN an hour south of me to preform the surgery so I went to the semiar and filled out all the insurance info. Well that's as far as I got with the fort Wayne location after months emails and calling the office NOTHING! I knew my insurance covered the surgery so I felt at a loss with comunation with Fort wayne. back to square one for a office that has better Comunniaton skills and cares. End result called Dr Watkins and guess what they answered the phone. And got me approved right away didn't waste any time and I didn't have to beg them to keep moving (heads up to Diana that handles insurance at UC Health weight loss LOVE her) I was told 6 month supervised diet by MY insurance company then I can have the lap band started 6 month diet December 2011 and guess what May 25 2012 I was banded. Sorry to ramble but all I have to say is I Love everyone I came in contact with at UC Health weight loss center and would tell anyone it's 110% worth the drive or fly to this office. Also Dr Watkins is very aggressive to get you to your sweet spot with your band. Another BIG Plus is everyone that works for Dr Watkins had been banded so from the girl who answers the phone to anyone they know how you feel and can answer your questions! If you have any questions please contact me .

I totally agree with everything you said. Dr. Watkins did my surgery 1/27 and I have been very pleased with the results.

The office staff is fabulous and the whole thing has been such a blessing. I am down 50 pounds and really looking forward to summer.

Best of luck to you in your journey :)

      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.
