I've had the best doctor and his team of nurses. I was wanting to get them something but I'm not sure what to do. I'd say buy them lunch, take them muffins or something like that but I'm pretty sure they're all bariatric patients themselves. What do you suggest?

I'm the office manager for a pain management doctors office. Trust me, we get more than our fair share of muffins, donuts, candy, etc. We started letting it be known that we were all trying to eat healthier, and now we get trays and baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as meat and cheeses. It is VERY much appreciated!

heck go on ebay and have a plaque mad up declaring themthe best Bariatric staff, or some such. Quite cheap, but it makes an impact and they can show it off.

Brag about them online, write a yelp/Google review. Good docs deserve good business

My bariatric surgeon was a total tool, so he and his staff got nothing, however my plastic surgeon is wonderful and I am a huge fan of him and his staff. I sent them a gift basket from Edible Arrangements. It had plenty of regular fruit for those being healthy but I also included some of the chocolate covered stuff for those who were not dieting. His entire office staff is women, so I figured either they'd love the chocolate or they'd love the healthy option of fruit, lol.

Also, I like the other person's idea to post yelp reviews...that's good to do too.

food is useful but cards are nice. Letters to their bosses with details are good. Snoop. I sure did, I asked who is in charge and who would be in a position of power to know what myself (and others) thought of people. I went so far as to a few of them asking who can give these people raises. Believe it or not, in EVERY circumstance they told me and told me what would help at raise time. That's what they got.

I rank/rate doctors and the like in the office. You can have good docs/bad staff, bad docs/good staff, good/good, bad/bad. Give specifics on the ratings. If I see some specifics, its going to help people best decide: is this an atmosphere I can deal with? That's what people really need to know.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
