slimkimmy 5 Posted April 13, 2014 Lol. Sent it to fast. As I was saying. The staff are awesome and their English is not bad. I understood them fine and they understood what I wanted. I had hardly any pain and now I'm down 17 pounds since surgery two weeks ago. I would highly recommend them and I can't wait to go back and get my plastics with the doc there. Let me know If there is anything Else u wanna know. Take care and good luck 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susysleever 265 Posted April 13, 2014 I wonder why I dont see more of her here. She travels to canada often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivitampa 4 Posted April 13, 2014 I've done tons and tons of research in the past several months and found in my opinion for Pompa to be the top surgeon and facility but also the priciest one too. If not for her price I would be going to her. You have have made a great decision. Please keep us posted! 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimkimmy 5 Posted April 13, 2014 I know she is expensive. But we are suppose to have titanium staples in our sleeve and they cost almost 4 grand. So I wondered why everyone else is so cheap. But I know her practice is a private one so maybe that's why. But I would not have went anywhere else. I felt very safe and comfortable the moment I stepped into her clinic. 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylapopyk 2 Posted April 13, 2014 After the research I did as well I feel very comfortable with my choice of Dr. Pompa. Did you have much pain from the gas? If so, anything specific work for easing it? 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimkimmy 5 Posted April 13, 2014 No I was one of the lucky ones. Never had gas pain at all. My surgery was 2 pm. They had me up walking 8 hours later. The more u walk the better, for the gas and blood clots. I heard of gas x strips works well. But I never had to use them personally. 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is awesome and her team is so nice. I think she is one of the top surgeons around. If not the best. You will be well taken care of. Any questions feel free to ask. Take care. 1 DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
