Dr. Ben-David

[JennsNewLife 3]

I am seeing Dr. Ben-David at Shands in Gainesville FL for my surgery. I am told he is very good, pretty strict but good! I have read a lot of feedback about him on obesity help and it was all positve....though I hear a friend of a friend is having problems with her surgery and she saw the same Dr. I am not really going to let that affect my decision b/c I know every case is different and who knows if she followed directions as they were given etc..

He has given me 30 pounds to lose before he will do surgery. I had first intended to have lap-band but he told me that it really wasn't an option for somene my size that I should have the sleeve.

Anyone else seen this Dr.?

I know I'm late on replying to this topic but yes I had my VSG surgery by Dr. Ben-david on May 2, 2011. He is very serious and straight to the point. He is real good tho. Did you have surgery yet?

Dr. Ben David did my surgery on 4/30 and I agree he is a strict dude! But I couldn't be happier with my results so far!
