Hi,

This is my first chat room anywhere and I hope I do this right. Has anyone had a bad experience with Dr. Billy and staff? I'm going to be scheduled for surgery pretty soon, but am scared to death right now to go ahead with it because of my office visit and the general attitude. Just wondering, because all of the chat rooms I've found go on and on about how wonderful they are and now I'm thinking maybe they really are that great and just don't like me personally. I'd appreciate any comments and what you think, thanks!

Hi there - I was banded by Dr Billy just last month on 6/17 and I had a great experience. All of their exams and appointments were very thorough, they are very informative, he is really into follow-up appointments and keeping in touch with the center for support. I would reccommend him to a family member for sure. Feel free to message me if you want to talk about it some more. Good luck!

Regardless of how glowing reports are, if you aren't comfortable with a surgeon and his staff, go with your gut. Find another.

      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.
