Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon



Recommended Posts

My name is Kris and my surgeon was/is Dr Beth Schrope and the surgery was performed at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood NJ. Best, very concerned and attentative Surgeon in a facility that is sensetive to the patients. It's like checking into a hotel. Best care and consideration I'd ever had. I was there for 2 nights and just rested up for a few days then was off and running;. I actually gave her a hug today for saving my life. I'd do it all over again and will recommend her to anyone who needs suggestions. She's the best! I'm soooooo glad I found her!

I used the beautiful Dr. Maria Pompa Gonzalez at the LIMPA surgical centre in Tijuana. It is a bariatric centre of excellence. Truly an amazing medical experience. Beautiful facility, compassionate staff who spoke fluent English, and 11/10 care. I was very impressed!

I had my surgery August 30, 2011 in Sebastian, FL. Dr. Patrick Domkowski was my surgeon and I think he rocks!!! He saved my life, literally, with this surgery! I paid $12,500 for surgery and would do it ALL again in a heartbeat!

I had my sleeve with Dr. Gonzales in San Antonio, Texas at Foundation Medical Center. A friend had it there and she loved it. I love Dr. Gonzales! I heard he was the best gastric surgeon in Texas but I dont know if thats true! However he is very good!

My surgeon was Troy Lamar (Love that name!) from California Bariatric and General Surgery in Arcadia. The hospital was Arcadia Methodist.

I highly recommend Dr. Lamar and his staff. Dr. Lamar basically loves surgery and he's wonderful at it. The aftercare and support is great too. I'm going to a support group set up by his office tonight. It's 3x a week!

I'm a Fort Worthian scheduled with Dr. David Kim on February 28th also at Forest park Medical Center. This was music to my ears!! He was recommended by a friend of a friend and then I started seeing his commercials and billboards which made me a bit nervous. After meeting him though, I feel the same about his bedside manner (so far). I'm looking forward to following your journey!

I'm having surgery on the 16th by Dr. Kim. Don't know if I've seen you in the meetings, but Congrats! and I'll figure out how to follow your story through you adventure.

I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and my surgeon was Dr Daniel Fang of the Bridges Weightloss Center. My surgery was performed at St Luke's Medical Center, one of the Centers of Excellence in Phoenix, AZ. I can't say enough positive about the team at Bridges, or Dr Fang and his staff. They were caring, responsive, professional, and timely with all services and information. I would recommend Dr Daniel Fang with total and complete confidence.

      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.
