Dr. Deol's patients come in!



Recommended Posts

Hey gang! I missed you all last night! I was the ONLY ONE who showed up for the meeting! I guess if the same thing happens in January, then the meetings are officially canceled. So, please come!

Anyway, I would love to still have a regular get-together after our meeting run out (whether that is sooner or later). If you are interested, send me a private message with your contact info and I will work on organizing that when the time comes.

I tried to make it to the meeting Thursday. I sat in traffic on I-696 for 45 minutes before saying the heck with it. I was still in traffic at 7:00 and there was no end in to the tail lights in sight. I would have missed half the meeting by the time I found an alternate route. Sorry you were the only one there.

I've started going to my new doc. He seems knowledgeable, but he's no Dr. Deol. I miss her wonderful personality! Having a hard time with the holidays. I needed the meeting!

Hi Marilyn! You are going to Dr. Krause right? I think I'm going to see him as well. I'm having a hell of a time getting through to the office though. I've left two messages and still have not received a call back. Frustrating!

Actually, I decided to go to out to Port Huron. It's a bit of a drive, but I've heard great things about them. I live only 3 miles from the ones in St. Clair Shores, but I haven't heard anything good about them. I don't think I'm ready for a fill yet, but the Docs in PH want to see me every month for the first year. That's fine with me. It keeps me on track. Keep in touch. Good luck with Royal Oak.

I've seen lots of good comments about them too. Good luck! I finally got through to Dr. Krause's office (I'm so impatient! haha!), and I have an appointment for January. I feel so much better ;)

WOW, I'm not going to complain about my 1 hour drive! I have Dr. Bhesania also. I miss Dr. Deol's personality and warmth, but hopefully with time, Dr. B will grow on me. His expertise is what's most important to me anyway.

Hi Everyone!

I hope you dont' mind me dropping in but I too, was also a patient of Dr. Deol and I already miss her!

I live in the East Lansing area and found a wonderful doctor named Dr. Kemmeter in Grand Rapids if anyone is local to the area...

Did anyone else have a hard time trying to find a new lap-band doctor? I did!

I did. I called every bariatric group within a 100 mile radius of Gregory, including Grand Rapids cause my daughter lives there. I found 5 willing to do fills for outside patients.....out of about 30.

i called Ann Arbor (U of M) and they haven't even STARTED to offer the lap-band and they don't take outside patients, the ones in lansing never called me back, and dr. nathan tomita well i saw him twice and both times he treated me like i was an idiot and the last time said TO MY FACE " are you sure dr. deol left? it wasn't that you were difficult? " I wanted to smack him...so I fished people for information on livejournal.com and obesityhelp.com and someone referred me to mmpc weight loss center....i met dr. paul kemmeter and he's wonderful!

next week i'm getting my band deflated because i'm going over-seas for a month and even though i've had it for over year I'm still weary....when i got overseas

:rolleyes:

yeah he actually said it to me....of course he was being serious but being a doctor and all he laughed about it...i literally called my mom bawling my eyes out and told her i would NEVER go and see him again and I haven't....any one have any ideas how to report non-professional behavior?

oh and does anyone know when Dr. Deol's new office was opening up?

Hi ebarto01 I'm new to the site. I also had Dr. Doel and I need to find a new doc.I see you are in the Gregory area. I'm in the Stockbridge area.How long does it take you to get to Grand Rapids? Glad you found a nice doctor. That is my big worry. What if I don't like them or they are jerks. Thanks

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
