Recommended Posts

I'm south of Rochester, but I'm signed up for a seminiar there in June as it's my closest hospital that does the surgery.

Do you have a doctor yet?

Hi there! I am going through the pre-banding process right now :) I am so nervous/excited. Are you trying to decide whether to get banded or are you in the process that I am?

I was banded Apr 8th w/Dr DiBeneditto at RGH. Stay away from Highland if you want to live. RGH stay was great and I've lost 20 pounds since surgery.

I've done very well at Highland Hospital, Rochester, NY. They have been great. I've lost 82 pounds. Good luck.

Hi,

I am also from rochester!! My surgery is scheduled for May 27th with Dr. Dibenedetto at RGH. I have been going through this process for 3 years(research incl.) I initially started with another surgeon but decided not to go through with it due to lack of customer/patient service. My surgeon, in my opinion, is the best!!! Not only is he knowledgeable about lap band, his team is AWESOME!!!!! I've never been worried about the actual surgery, it's what kind of follow up from the surgeon that scared me. But, I believe with dr. d's team, i will be well taken care of. Good luck to you on your Quest.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
