waitingtiljan 0 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm trying to decide between 2 different doctors. How do I determine which one is best? If one uses staples and one doesn't..then is that a strange way to pick? I DON'T want staples! I really wish it were easier! Any good questions I should ask both of them? I'm scheduled to go to a seminar for one of the doctors. Should I base my choice on if I like this first doctor? Sorry..I'm just so nervous, but desperately want this done. Thanks!!!

juliegeraci 7 Posted November 28, 2006 Personally I wouldn't want staples either. For me it came down to availability, knowlege, feeling of obesity and fills. My doctor has great bedside manners so that was a plus as well. When I first sat down with him he also gained respect by telling me I wasn't losing my mind and that obesity was a disease. Just like having diabetes. You can die from obesity or obesity related disease. I also like the fact that he believe in fills and doesn't oppose them to just use will power. The band works with fills. Some people are lucky and they lose without a fill but I am not one of them. Good luck in your decision. BTW, my doctor has done around 300 surgeries. You may want to ask that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
