CathyArsenault 4 Posted November 10, 2016 Choosing a surgeon for Bariatric Surgery was a process for me and my husband. We wanted to be absolutely positive that he/she was not only brilliant and a great surgeon but also had an understanding of obesity and everything that comes with it. We wanted to be sure that the surgeon as trained, educated and had empathy for the morbidly obese while also understanding I would need him/her and their practice in my life to help me with this struggle. I was NOT looking for a one and done. Surgeon, Support and Education was my criteria for choosing a practice. We found it all. It takes time to vet the surgeon and also find exactly who and where it have the surgery. We wanted the hospital to be a Center of Excellence in Bariatrics'. Lindsey S. Sharp MD and his practice (REX Bariatric Surgeons) fit my criteria and have exceeded my expectations in all aspects almost 5 years later. Dr. Sharp and his practice have provided me with a great tool, great support and education to keep myself focused and successful. 1 NewLife125 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am 6 days post op and I feel like this team has supported me every step of the way! I chose Dr Bermudez to do my surgery and I could not be more pleased with how I am doing so far. I know this Dr and support team will be with me through my full recovery and beyond.

kmebane 0 Posted April 5, 2019 I had DS with dr Sharp on 4/1. The clinic and everything that goes along with it are fantastic. Great support & information before surgery & now I've had great support after. Awesome group. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagathaChristie 95 Posted May 17, 2019 I wish that I could say the same. I did not even get as far as the consult. I had messaged them and called and I guess I fell between the cracks because they were not very responsive to me. I wondered if it was because I am self-pay. It was a poor first impression and because of that I did not choose them. I am still pre-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
