I have been on the mission to have gastric bypass for almost 2 years now and have done all the testing, etc. My original surgery date was for July 2008 however 2 weeks before I called and canceled. Now my new date is February 2009, eeek

Has anyone had gastric bypass done by Dr. Saber?

Wow, July 2008, I'll bet you would be down over 60lbs by now. That should be enough incentive not to cancel out again??? Very good luck to you!

Hi - Dr. Saber did my gastric bypass on 11/25/08.  I would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

I checked into him -- he has a LOT of advertising going on!
He doesn't perform the DS though, so nope.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.
FWIW, I think it is just fine to call and cancel however close to surgery.

If you have any doubts or reservations, take the time you need to feel certain of your choice of procedure & surgeon!  These are MAJOR surgeries, and going in calm & completely at ease was such a good feeling for me.  Until they have you knocked out so you can't run out of the OR, you are in control of your destiny.

Dr. Saber performed my surgery. He is a very nice man. I didn't see to much of him afterwards though (in the hospital). Bronson being a learning hospital you tend to see the residents more. I have heard great things about Dr. Versman also. Have you attended one of their seminars? If your having it performed at Bronson, the staff will make you feel very comfortable.
