a new begining 1 Posted September 17, 2014 Hello Everyone.. I am pre-op and have a date set for Oct. 23rd I interviewed my surgeon and found out he has done about 1,000 weight loss surgery's with 200 of them being sleeves. What do you think, is that enough experience?? I really like him and trust him. But I'd like some opinions please. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like him and trust him. @@bookworm yes per @@bookworm try and find out his reputation but i think it might be hard to get one of his former patients name unfortunately HIPPA rules, i don't think they can give names out of former patients you like him, thats a good start he's done about 1000 WLS and 200 of them the sleeve after all is said and done............. if his record sounds good go with your gut!!! good luck next month with the sleeve speedy recovery good luck kathy Edited September 17, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a new begining 1 Posted September 17, 2014 His track record I think is good, he had one death from a complication which was a bypass but none for sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
