Yes

Was banded in March 2006. His staff is very thorough. They have done lots of bands and gastric bypass.

His staff is very knowledgable. They pay attention to the little things, like bigger chairs in the waiting room.

The staff knows your name and he has a case nurse that will work with you until you get your surgery. My insurance made me wait 6 months and do a dr supervised weight loss. They called me monthly.

They are very caring. They do a info session b4 to let you know what to expect. They have after care classes and monthly meetings.

I've never had them turn me down for any questions asked.

They do have emergency appts if necessary.

He has people to handle all aspects. Insurance, Psych pre tests, Nutrition, etc.

They are up in Greeley but do have fill appts in Lafayette once a week. (I hope they expand this, appts are getting harder to get)

He did the original surgery, but I see a PA when getting fills. Either Steve or Paula. They're equally good at what they do. And Steve is quite handsome, so there's a plus!

His two nurses are excellent! I always enjoy seeing them.

The only thing I don't like is the drive :)

      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.
