VSG Tommy B 10 Posted March 18, 2013 PaperBullets, I hope all went well today and you are recovering nicely. Please let us know. Dr. Yoo is my doctor too. I haven't yet decided if I am doing a band to sleeve revision yet. When you feel better, please PM me with your thoughts and experiences. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AuntDD 0 Posted July 19, 2013 I went through Mission Weight Management in Asheville. Dr. Irani did my surgery one week ago today. They are amazing there. I am very pleased with my whole experience through them. They have some of the top surgeons in the state as well as doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, and support staff. I really liked that Dr. Irani was a women. I didn't really matter at first, but I'm glad because now I feel more comfortable. I also saw Dr. Chris Edwards too and he's hands down one of the best.

kmed21 41 Posted July 20, 2013 Me too @ mission weight!! They are indeed fantastic!! When I called to tell them I called and had an approval from cigna I was crying sooo hard. She let me cry and was genuinely happy and thrilled for me. Saying this was the best part of her job. The surgeons at Regional Surgical are great. I have heard great about Dr. Irani. My mom worked in the OR with the others and was confortable with any of them, but I choose Dr. W. Allen Bradshaw. He is sooo great and understanding. I had my gall bladder removed by a surgeon no longer at his practice and he left sludge in me putting me back in the hospital for a week. Dr. Bradshaw took care of me then. Great bedside manor. And he's HOT!!! Haha! I'm getting sleeved Aug 22. Excited!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tndinnc 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Hi, Dr. Adolfo Fernandez at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston Salem will be doing my sleeve. He did my band placement ! He is awesome and has a wonderful and comprehensive team ! They are a blue cross blue shield center of excellence too so I know that helps with some insurance approvals. Hope this helps dde01 Considering dr. Fernandez myself but haven't heard a whole lot on him. He's close to home for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
