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

200 sleeve - is that enough experience?? 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 :mellow:

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

His track record I think is good, he had one death from a complication which was a bypass but none for sleeve.
