Dr.DuncaN

My initial appt with Dr.Duncan is in 1 week and I was just wondering anybody who had used him for Gastric Bypass- did he require a specific amount of weight loss before your surgery date?

Your gonna love the way you feel and look.. Here's so good info:

No. I wasn't required to lose any weight. Once I went on the pre-op diet, I did lose some weight, but they weren't monitoring it. Is Dr. Duncan doing your surgery? I had Dr. Hobson....I loved him and of course I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Duncan, so you should be GREAT!

I had my 1 month follow up with Dr. Duncan today as a matter of fact.

I was put on a two week post opt diet and I was never told to lose a certain number of pounds.  However, I was told to follow the diet as given because it shrinks your liver and that's important with gastric banding.  I lost big time on that diet.  I had lost like 12 lbs in 10 days.   As of  today I've lost 29lbs since Augst 25th. (mainly pre-banding and the first week post-op)

I like Dr. Duncan but don't expect to spend a lot of time with him.   You will spend more time with Lori or one of the other assistants.

I wish you the best.  I've done great and get my first fill on 10-29.

Oh also, you will either have surgery at the hospital or his new facility. (Atlanta Aesthetic Center)
