I heard through a friend that the staff didn't treat people very well. that's all. You must live close to me b/c that hospital is only like 10 miles from my house. haha! I had my done at Scottsdale Healthcare Hospital.

Liza, I had my lap-band done at that hospital on Dec 3rd 2008 and I have to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the entire staff. I started working with them over a year before my surgery was finally done and the staff was so nice they submitted the request to the insurance company 3 times before we got approval but they never stopped trying. My Surgeon is Dr. Schuster (I think that is how it is spelled) but he is the greatest and seems to be a very caring person. Do you have your lap band done there?

I cannot say enough good things about Banner Gateway Bariatric. Their entire staff is AWESOME.... I have been seeing them every few months since last March.

I "interviewed" 5 or 6 potential surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Schuster. His support staff was a HUGE part of my decision... they are extremely attentive, and wonderful at following up.

Dr. Schuster himself is an awesome guy... very down-to-earth, straight-to-the-point, with a great sense of humor.

I definitely give their program two thumbs up!! :tongue:

These posts are rather old. I am wanting to know about the other surgeons in the group? What were your experience. Did they seem to listen to your concerns.

Also how are the groups?

      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?
