Dr. Terry Simpson - Banded by Dr. Simpson



Recommended Posts

I'm getting banded by Dr. S on Tuesday, December 21st (in two days!!). I live in Surprise, so I don't intend on going to the support groups (I really don't feel like driving an hour each way) but are there any on this side of the Valley?

Thanks!

I don't know for sure if there are, but you might check your local hospital...they have a support group in Flagstaff at my local hospital that is free and welcomes any WLS patient. :)

I have surgery scheduled for March 8th with Dr Simpson. I live in Surprise as well so probably wont be making it to any of the support meetings. Do you know how many CCs the band is that Dr S uses? How was the recovery? I saw a post saying that those with the single incision had a longer recovery time.

Hey Chris!

I will be banded by Dr. Simpson sometime toward the end of next month. The staff there is great and I really like Dr. Simpson. So its been a good experience for you? any tips you could give me would be great!

I was banded by Dr. Simpson on April 21, 2009 and so far so good!

The office staff is super nice and Dr. Simpson is a pro at what he does.

I will get my first fill hopefully on June 2nd and cannot wait!

Anyone else out there banded by Dr. Simpson?

Chris

Just a word of caution - I'm self pay, had been quoted the $13,500 price, and at the last minute, was told there was a $1,000 additional fee because I had sleep apnea and would have to have the surgery at a different center (Canyon) than the one next door (Surgical Specialty). I have MILD sleep apnea. This is something that I wrote on my paperwork from the very beginning. So, the all inclusive price is not always all inclusive. I had just paid 100% of my money, and within 10 minutes, it was all given back to me when I said I would not pay $1,000 more. I selected his office because they didn't have add on fees. :( Very sad. I shopped around A LOT before I selected him. Be careful. I decided on another center rather than being duped into paying more. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I hope you have a better experience.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
