nygurl 72 Posted January 22, 2013 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jar312 22 Posted January 29, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nygurl 72 Posted February 6, 2013 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jar312 22 Posted February 12, 2013 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!

lilpun75 20 Posted February 12, 2013 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any complications or issues that you had?[/quote'] 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nygurl 72 Posted February 15, 2013 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?

jar312 22 Posted February 19, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
