Anyone banded by Dr Gobil, South Nassau Communities Hospital



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm from Queens and going for my first consultation on Sept 10 with Dr. Gobil. He is on the same team as Dr. Vohra (Dr. Vohra doesn't take my insurance, Aetna).

Just wondering if any of you used Dr. Gobil and if so, how did you like him?

I'm joining the Lap band :eek: :mad:

Hey everyone,

I was banded on 8/30/07 by Dr. Benavides in Richardson, Texas. I am having alot of trouble getting enough Protein in. I have tried all diifferent kinds of Protein Drinks and they make me nauseous. I guess I understand now why they call the few weeks "bandster hell"! I do love my band and do not regret my decision. I'm just starving! I cannot stop thinking about food! I have been viewing these website for several months and have received so much valuable information. I'm so glad I found this website before my surgery. It really helped prepare me for what to expect.

      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?
