I get sleeved on the 11th of January 2013. Dr kim at celebration is my surgeon. My insurance is medicre and they just oked my sleeve. It was a long wait from first sminar to now but it was medicare that was the hangup. They (medicare) just oked the sleeve. You will have a lot of test and classes befor you get a date. Good luck with your choice. I also went to Dr jawad's seminar and decided on Dr. Kim.

My husband and I both had our VSG done by Dr. Patrick Domkowski in Sebastian. I would highly recommend him and the staff at Sebastian River Medical Center.

Dr Keith Kim at celebration health. I was planning on having surgery with him but insurance denied me. I went thru a long 6 mo journey with him and his staff attempting to get insurance approval. Great facility and top notch staff!

I have had the Lap Band, the Lap Band removal and the Sleeve surgery all done by Dr. Domkowski. Awesome surgeon and great person. I would HIGHLY recommend him, or his associate. the office staff is great. I never felt stupid for asking questions, or judged in any way. the way I like to explain it is that you will always wait in the waiting room, but when he is in the room with you, he is focused on you and your needs.

Awesome!

      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.
