Dr. Neil Floch - Wonderful surgeon



Recommended Posts

I had Lapband surgery on 9/4/08 with Dr. Neil Floch @ Norwalk Hospital. He is a wonderful surgeon. He took his time with me in the weeks leading up to surgery making sure I understood everything. He was patient and understanding when I got cold feet and postponed my surgery for the summer. There was never any pressure at all. His office staff was great and his bedside manner is fantastic. I felt very well cared for and never felt like I was bothering them with my questions or concerns. (and I had a lot) His staff is very friendly and helpful and helped me schedule appointments that fit my schedule. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this man is, he truly listens to me at each appointment and shares my success with me as I lose weight.

I also had Neil perform my surgery. really down to earth guy that will just plain talk to you. He really makes you feel comfortable with what's going on and will help you with anything you are in need of. I can't say enough about the staff, they are fantastic! Everyone is always helpful and willing to help you out. I was banded on 9/11/08 I started at 330lbs and am now 119 lbs, so down 111 lbs. Neil has been really supportive throughout the entire process.

Thanks for the input. My mother was banded a few weeks ago by Craig Floch and I'm going in for banding in May with Neil at Norwalk Hospital. I have heard nothing but good things about both doctors and the office. I'm looking forward to it! I will post my experience as well.

Hey all. Glad to find this forum. I am just short of a month, having the procedure on 12/30/10. Dr. Neil is very good, and I am anxious to get this rolling full steam. Due to weather and illness, I haven't had my post op visit yet...........28 inches of snow does that, but, I am so glad I decided to do this, even if it came out of pocket.What was the hardest part for all of you when you started. Mine has been hunger. Also, I really need to change habits if this is going to be successful. How did you all manage that?

      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.
