Dr. Patel in Austin



Recommended Posts

Anyone have problems with this doctor? I'm having serious doubts here ...

His office has been here for months yet there is still no furniture there and today they had no power. Had to check vitals outside because it was so hot in the office.

It took forever for him to find my port. I have 7 punctures in my belly now.

Just not a lot of confidence in this man.:thumbup:

If you are looking for another surgeon I was banded by Dr. Brady with Southwest Bariatric on Oct. 27th, 2008. I had fills done in January and February of 2009 and both were successful on the first attempt, she is an incredible doctor. I had my first appointment with Dr. Brady on August 21st, 2008 at a weight of 386 pounds, when I had my followup on March 19, 2009, my weight had dropped to 284 pounds, I have lost 102 pounds in 7 months.

      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.
