Surgeon appointment tomorrow and a bit nervous. I just found out this afternoon. Has anyone seen Dr DeGara? I read 3 reviews for him and they were not very favorable. I had never really heard of him before. Any info good or bad...just wanting to see what Im in for

Reviews aren't always true. I saw Dr Yaltho when I was in the clinic and was worried before my first appointment with her because I'd read negative reviews online. It turned out that I found her very pleasant and encouraging.

So go in there expecting to be treated well and I bet you will be. Good luck!

This doctor saved my life!  I would not be alive today if it wasn't for Dr. DeGara.  He is a British man who  is very blunt and to the point and he comes across a little stuck up.  But when it really matters he can be very compassionate.  I trust him 100%.  You are in good hands.

He was a very nice man. And I'm going to be happy to be his patient! Thanks for your words

He's my surgeon as well, I met him once but was very impressed. I have my revision surgery date for July 24. I couldn't be happier.
good luck with your surgery...

Kiki 47,
Thanks for your reply. Not many people I know have heard of Dr Degara. Its been a whirlwind of activity since I saw him and apparently he kinda runs on his own rules...hence the reason  got a surgery date right away. I am now worried that I may not get surgery on Aug 14 as he said beause its not proper protocol at that clinic. My fingers are crossed that what he says is true and forsure.
This is the first weight loss surgery for myself, and I am kinda nervous and extremely excited. Best of luck with your revision.

I had my surgery July 24th, and got home yesterday. Dr. DeGara was fantastic with me. and so greatful for the opportunity to have him as my surgeon. He went on holidays but his surgical team was fantastic when they came to see me in the hospital. The nurses were fantastic and overall it has been a super experience.
