Dr. Abbas - University Hospitals, Cleveland, OH



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Abbas from UH Cleveland? I was scheduled with Dr. Khaitan but due to a scheduling screw up I am either going to have to significantly postpone surgery, which really isn't an option with my job, or switch to Dr. Abbas. I'm kind of in panic mode because for the past 7 months I have worked with Dr. Khaitan and I know nothing about Dr. Abbas. I am having the sleeve. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I just saw one review online, and it was a 5 star. He's on the med school faculty at CWRU and works at a teaching hospital, so I wouldn't be too worried. Since he trains *other* people how to do bariatric surgery, I'm sure he must be good and very well-qualified. I had mine done at a teaching hospital as well - the staff at those are usually top-of-the-line.

My surgery was delayed. During pre op x-ray they found I had walking pneumonia, even though I didn't have any symptoms. I am now scheduled for January 31 at UH with Dr. Khaitan. How has your recovery gone? Are you happy you went with UH for surgery? I'm excited but getting nervous.

hi..yes I love the UH Parma team. Dawn was my nurse...so sweet and helpful.

Nutritionist is always nice....do you work with her...can't think of her name.

a coworker had the doctor you are going to ...she seemed pleased.

I go to the doc on Friday for my 90 check up. I guessing I'm down about 43 lbs since surgery. 51 lbs from my highest late summer. I feel great!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
