butterfly 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Hello all. . . I am new and was wondering if anyone has been sleeved by Dr. Jayaseelan in Dallas, Texas. I will have my surgery there April 27. Do you have any suggestions on things I might need that you did not bring. Thanks for all you info!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girldep 0 Posted April 21, 2010 I was sleeved by dr. Jayseelan on 3/23. He did a great job. Good bedside manner and his Nurse Practioner Sandy Mccoy is the best. I have seen her more than I have seen him. If you are having it done at forest park you will be well taken care of! Remember walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Good luck to you!

pnw218 14 Posted April 21, 2010 Congrats on your surgery date! I wish I would have brought my refillable ice pack. My chest was very sore after surgery and having ice on it was wonderful. The staff did provide me with ice but MY ice pack would have been perfect : ) I was very glad that I had my heating pad and blankie (a small airplane type). My body temperature was all over the place. Often I just wrapped up in the blanket as a comfort. Sounds like I am 5. LOL Good luck! Hope it all goes smoothly!

CoachKK 0 Posted April 21, 2010 Dr. Jayseleen is my surgeon and I am scheduled for May 13th. So far I have found him to be wonderful. I am glad to hear that the nurse practitioner is good. I haven't worked with her yet. Sometimes the wait in the waiting room is really long, but I've seen him immediately after i get back to the room. I am very confident and happy with him. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope that helps. I'm curious if you ended up using him as a surgeon. His website has been taken down and there are some things you need to know if you proceed with their office. PM me if you want to know more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
