Deb, can you tell me me about your experience? I'm debating between Dr. Srikanth and Dr. Houseworth.

He was great. Very kind and knowledgable, but honesty I didn't see him much. I saw him for 2 pre-surgical consults, the day of surgery, and the day of my discharge. My follow up appointments are with mid level physicians. I read up about him and he's done more robotic sleeves than anyone in the state. Overall, very happy with my choice.

I didn't have to lose any pre-surgery weight to lose and I wasn't put on any pre op liquid diet. They just said nothing after midnight the night before surgery.

I just had RNY with Houseworth June 20. He's very talented and experienced but doesn't check on you much post op which was disappointing because I had a rough go with it in terms of pain and would have liked to hear from him why I was having such a hard time.

Pretty good. The first 2 weeks were rough. I thought I was only going to be off work 1 week, but ended taking off 2. I'm cleared for all foods at this point. But meeting my Protein requirements is challenging.

Hey everybody. Surgery went well. No complaints or complications. I guess the only thing I would say is I wish I spoke to him more or that he was more friendly. He's nice. He was on time for rounds in the hospital . He did a beautiful surgery and gallbladder removal. All is well.

congrats. how long far out was your surgery date after approval? Ive been approved and currently waiting for him to sign off my packet so i can schedule
