alison4333 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Hi. I'm Allison. I am new to this site so forgive for me not knowing where to start. Well, here I go. I am a patient of Dr. Deol in Michigan. I am scheduled for surgery in a few days. I did about 2 years worth of research on lap band, not only in Michigan, but elsewhere in the country. I came to the conclusion that Dr. Deol was one of the most, if not THE most, qualified surgeon in this area, and probably in the country. When i met her for the first time about 6 months ago, i fell in love with her. She is truely honest, EXTREMELY EXREMELY thorough and doesn't take chances. I cannot emphasize how thorough she is. She is very kind and informative. She answered all my questions and then some. I know, from a few friends that i have in her hospital that she is very selective and does not operate on patients who will not commit to the process. But that explains why her patients are very successful in their weight loss venture. in any event, i am truely pleased and look forward to my surgery. I will keep everyone updated. thanks again.

alison4333 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Devana: Hi. thanks for the reply and your support. This site is awsome. I guess they call Dr. Deol's patient's "Dr. Deol's Girls." So i guess I am also a member of her fanclub now. I am going into this with the outmost confidence in Dr. Deol. Thanks God and Thank God for Dr. Deol. Wish me luck girls.

jeffslove 0 Posted November 17, 2006 My boyfriend is being banded November 20th. Being his support person through all this, I met with Dr. Deol in her office last week. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with her. I had two pages of questions for her and she answered every single one of them very honestly and thoroughly. She took her time and made sure all our questions were answered and didn't rush through it. I am extremely confident that she will do an excellent job taking his life into her hands.

Stacy160 201 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm glad you posted, Alison. I'm over near Flint and have looked at Dr. Deol's website a few times. I'm JUST getting into this and haven't even really started the process yet (have to wait til Monday to even call my insurance company and make sure they cover it), but when I start looking around for a surgeon, I'll definitely talk to her! :xena_banana: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alison4333 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Dr. Deol's Girls. Sorry for the late reply. I had changed computers and had forgotten my password. So, I am back. The surgery went "PERFECT." Dr. Deol was fantastic. Made me feel so so so very comfortable. She is so compassionate, you can tell she truely cares. Got a Teddy Bear from her after the surgery too. So sweet. The surgery itself was very smooth. They had to use a bigger band on me called the vanguard. i am doing well. I have lost a few pounds already. Dr. Deol emphasises that i have to be dedicated to her program, which i think i am. I have already quit smoking (she wouldn't do the surgery unless I did) which in itself is a blessing. I couldn't be happier. I feel like, for the first time in my life, I have control over something. Thanks for everybody's support. I will continue posting. BTW, how do you post the ticker?
