Recommended Posts

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had experience with any surgeons in Upstate NY. I have heard of Dr. Singh, but hoping someone might have something to say about him.

Thanks,

Judy

I use Dr. Shing and love him. He has been my doc for the last two years. He placed my band and I had a number of complications with the band not agreeing with my body. He has been terrific. He is very down to earth and caring. All the doc's in the office are nice and accommadating. I am having the sleeve on April 26th. Have you started the process?

HI,

I am scheduled for all my meetings prior to meeting Dr. Singh and have an appt with him on June 24th. I am wanting the sleeve too.

Do you know how far out he is scheduling surgeries? I am wondering when i meet with him on the 24th how far from that date my surgery will be.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for insurance to cover me, but I seem to fit the qualifications.

Do you also know when the office puts it in to my insurance carrier? On the first education visit, or some other visit?

Thank you so much for writing, i so appreciate any and all info you can share with me.

Judy

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
