I had my surgery with Dr. Barker on June 13th. I don't have any complaints about my surgery and recovery at all. The only thing is that I felt like since he has SO MANY patients I get kind of a rushed feeling. But saying that, it also made me feel good to know that he has done SO MANY surgeries and has many years of experience. Good luck!!!

I feel the same way. Its almost like a cattle drive. I had my 2nd consult and stress test today and am good to go for next Wednesday. Did your surgery go as scheduled on your day? How many nights did they keep you?

He's my dr also I had surgery June 20th!! He's a very busy man and it does feel rushed but I had a good surgery no complications and the busier he is means the more experience he has!! :))

Yes that is true. I have definately been overlooking the "cattle drive" part of it. I just need to remember I've got a great doc that's obviously very popular. That's for your input.

Dr. Davidson out of presby Dallas did mine, but at the new forest park medical center. Wow! What a wonderful facility and staff! His bedside manor leaves much to be desired but he is good- as well as busy, but I did not feel that from him or his staff over the other billboard surgeons -I'm sure all very qualified as well.

      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.
