Pleatman Surgical Bloomfield Hills, MI



Recommended Posts

Anyone used this location/Dr? I tried to do a general serach on the site, and nothing came up- I find it hard to believe that he's not been used by anyone on the entire site. I'm just looking for some feedback and info on how your process with him and his surgical center went.

Thanks!!! :D

I used Dr. Pleatman. I listed him as my Dr on where, weird that you weren't able to find that. I read a lot reviews the only bad thing I really saw was that he had a dry personality but he was very nice to me and even cracked a joke. Every time I had a question or problem he always got right back with me. My surgery was 7/27/12

Thank you for getting back to me :) Sorry, my phone didn't tell me I had comments, and I figured, it'd been a while so I might as well check on here on the actual computer...lol

I met with him today- he seemed nice enough- I wouldn't say we shared conversation over tea, but he answered all my questions, and was not rude or anything. I'm confident in his ability, and am excited to move forward with him as my surgeon :) Thanks for your help!!

When is ur surgery? Are you having it at Doctors hospital? It's a small hospital but I liked all my nurses except one midnight nurse... Good luck and feel free to ask me any questions... The one thing I really liked about Dr. Pleatman is that he will let you watch your surgery in his office. Not many dr's will do that!

Hello,

I had the lap band surgery or attempted to at least and he perforated my stomach so the surgery had to be aborted. I was his first perforation he said. If you want additional info you can PM me.

You are so close to providence hospital, have you considered going there? They are a weight loss surgery center of excellence. It was a great experience...

My surgery is 2/28. I'm selfpay, so I didn't pick the hospital, Dr. said that's where get does it.

Did you have a pre-opt diet at all?

Any complications or issues that you had?

Hi There,

I had Dr. Sabir out of the Novi, Providence office. I had a one week pre-op diet that was not bad at all. No complications or issues. Everything was perfect! I'm a month out was sleeved on 1/7. Including my pre-op I am down 42lbs...... It's been a great experience.

Thanks for the info! :) Any of you guys NOT have a really strict pre-op diet? It suggests to replace 1 meail/day for a week or so prior to surgery, and to attempt to lose weight before hand, make sure your active, etc. I've been trying to be more strict on myself- started replacing 1 meal/day two weeks out and figued I'd up to 2 meals/day next week...any thoughts?

Pre-op wasn't bad. Post op SUCKED! I thought several time during the first month or two that I shouldn't have done the surgery but not being 7 months out, I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made.. I am down 98 lbs and feel GREAT! Good luck on the 28th!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
