Hi TDeRo...I am being banded by Dr. Ramachandra at Mercy Fitzgerald in Darby. I am impressed with the team. And the process doesn't seem to take long. I had my initial consult on 033108 and was approved 2 weeks later. Everything moved along so quickly. Give them a call. 610.534.6170.

I just got banded on 9/24/08. My doctor was Dr. Matt Kirkland of Pennsylvania Hospital at 8th and Spruce Streets. I'm not sure how he handles fills from another doctor. Look him up on Penn's website. I'm sure the office can set an appointment up for you or direct you to the right doctor.

      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.
