Dr. Farhan Flint, Michigan



Recommended Posts

Anyone use Dr. Farhan and/or had experience with Hurley Bariatrics? I am in the middle of getting cleared from my insurance company. So far so good. I talked with Dr. Farhan and so far the staff there seems nice. Just looking for anyone that has gone through with the band at hurley and maybe specifically with Dr. Farhan.

Thanks in advanced!

I had surgery at Hurley with Dr. Farhan in Nov 07. I only talked with him once, after surgery. They are kind of impersonal, but I havent had any problems at all, and have lost 45lbs since Nov 29. The support groups are nice, everyone from pre surgery to years out post surgery go at the same time. Its nice to hear from everyone.

Thats good to hear! I only been at the office once. I see most people haven't talked to him until after the surgery. I met him my first day down there. He was pleasant. You go to the support groups in flint? I live in saginaw so too long for me to drive me thinks.

they have people from all over go there, I'm sure you could get into a support group closer, (really important, you will learn so much!) someone on here could probably help. I didnt meet him before, because I was supposed to have a different surgeon. Once you have the surgery your appointments will be with the nurses and technitions (sp?) at the center. If you know what kind of band you want be sure to talk it over with them before your surgery. I didnt know the difference, and got the 4cc band. I have been doing ok, but I wish I would have known more about it.

      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.
