Dr. Brian Lahmann at BMI Surgery - Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox, Illinois (south suburb of Chicago).

It's a gorgeous, brand new hospital, and the staff couldn't be nicer. Dr. Lahmann and his partner Dr, Christopher Joyce have been doing bariatric surgery for over 10 years. They have the highest ratings.

I had Dr.Fass at Seton Medical Center in Austin Texas. He is very clear about what he will do, very personable, and easy on the eyes. :-) His staff is helpful and competent, his nurse Jenna has gone out of her way to help me multiple times.

I was sleeved May 20th at Lenox Hill Hospital by Dr. Edward Yatco and haven't had one complication. The only thing I HAVE been experiencing is Hair loss which is the norm anyway but otherwise he's a fabulous physician.

I cannot make enough positive comments about Alok Gandhi, D.O. from Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, New York. He is my surgeon and my bride's surgeon. He and his staff and the entire Rochester General team have been absolutely tremendous.

My surgeon is Dr. John Dietrick of Tampa Florida. He is great - does mostly gastric bypass surgeries. So this is his stock and trade. Great program with multiple yr follow up for all his patients. Nutritionist on staff which is included in the fee. He is also capable of fixing other issues he may find - for me a hiatial hernia that I had suffered reflux from for years - now NO REFLUX! Surgery was at Florida Hospital Tampa - trained staff, caring and compassionate. Great experience. Would recommend him to anyone. OH by the way, I am a nurse - we know how to vet out surgeons! We only go with the best! Highly recommend him.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
