Recommend a Dr. in Arizona



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a Lap Band Doctor in Arizona? I have picked out a doctor but I am not 100% sure. I have insurance that will pay with the standard 5 year medical history and letter from my pcp. Thanks:smile2:

Hi

I live in AZ and I used true results. They have been great I love the surgeon and the staff. I have had a few issues with my port (no one's fault) and the office has been great the surgeon even came in on a day that he was not scheduled to be there to help with my issues. I was self pay so I am not sure how easy the insurance thing is. But I would definitely try them. There wed site is Phoenix, AZ Lap Band Surgery & Weight Loss Procedure Center | True Results.

P.S. the surgery center had an awesome staff and I always get sick whenever I had surgery and the anesthesiologist they use was the only one who has ever kept me from getting sick.

Good luck!!

I also went to True Results and I'm sooo happy with them. Dr. Nimural is fantastic, the staff is considerate, and the followup makes me a very happy patient :)

Good luck!!

What part of AZ are you in? I recommend you choose someone close to you - you will be visiting them at least once a month for at least the next 6 months. I used Dr. Schwartz in Tucson. The surgery went great - no compications, no nausea, and here's the best part - no gas pains in the shoulders!

Good luck with your decision!

I used Dr. Schwartz in Tucson. Great surgeon, but not much on "hand-holding". His office staff are wonderful and always helpful.

      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?
