Virginia?!?

[onedeterminedchick 118]

Thank you!!!

I spoke with my surgeon yesterday, and he basically asked me to give him the opportunity to fix the situation. I agreed to wait until December (January is when they can request approval) to make my decision. I really do like him, it's just this one staff member (coordinator) that I'm struggling with. I do have high hopes that this can be fixed

Help!!

I need information on Bariatric surgeon's with Bon Secours in Richmond, VA. I am currently with a different doctor, at a different hospital and have lost confidence in his staff. There's been some staffing changes, and I'm really struggling with the new person/people.

I have 4 months left in a year long program, have done everything on my checklist with the exception of my PCP sign-off and that's getting dropped off tomorrow for his signature. Because i'm over 1/2 way there, and these first 9 months flew, I'm now straight up panicking even considering switching surgeons.

Does anyone have any experience with the surgeons and staff at Bon Secours - either St. Mary's or St. Francis (Bautista, Carmody, Lee, Karch). I spoke with the coordinator this afternoon (Hilarie) and I felt better after talking to her...I just have spent so many years knowing which doctor I would use at which hospital, I don't know ANYTHING about these guys.

HELP!! Thanks in advance!!

@@anugent75 My surgeon was Dr. Carmody @ Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital and I recommend him to everybody!! From day one him and his staff have been on point and very professional. My surgery was last week and everything went extremely well!!!!! I'm doing great!!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but know several people who have had their surgery at St. Mary's Hospital and have spoken very favorably of the surgeon team. I will be having Dr. Carmody when I get approved (thinking positively!).
