Anybody got to Harper Hospital in Detroit???



Recommended Posts

Hi!

That's where I'm planning on going - with Dr. Webber. I still haven't even gotten the paperwork going yet, so I'm a little far from the procedure. I'd like to hear how it goes. Are you in Detroit or coming from somewhere else? I guess they get alot of out-of-towners.

Hi Likeblanche and Marci:

I'm another Detroiter. Although I'm not going to Harper (I was born there though in '64), I'm going to Oakwood in Dearborn with Dr. Bacal. My date is 3/12/09. Best of luck to you both. It would be nice to keep in touch and cheer each other on.

Hello all! I'm sorry to have missed this question earlier. I had my surgery 11/8/07 at Harper, and I really like Dr. Weiner. He is a very good surgeon, and I've had no complications or issues. I live outside of Toledo, Ohio and make the commute when I need a fill. I had a pretty good experience at the hospital - nurses were mostly good, etc. I have lost 83 pounds to date, and could not be happier with the band. It's a struggle, mentally, sometimes, but well worth it. Please keep us informed, since you are now post-op! My biggest complaint after surgery was the shoulder/gas pain right after surgery, but it was temporary. Best of luck! La Chaim!

      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?
