Anybody know Dr Catania at CMC?

I'm going through OTC at Catholic Medical Center and am wondering what Dr. Catania is like. They say that he's done a few VSGs and that's what I want, so I'm just trying to learn more about him. I only have 6 more pounds to lose before I meet him, so I'm getting very curious.

Thanks,
Tracey

Tracy,

I am 3 months post-op Realize Band and Dr. Catania did my surgery. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He is very caring and very supportive. He gives me as much time as I need at each and every appointment. He explains everything very carefully and makes sure you understand everything. You are picking a wonderful surgeon.

Good luck 6 pounds and you'll be there. Let me know how it goes. We all need as much support as we can get this journey is lots of work but oh so worth it.

Tracey,
I am having GBP with Dr Catania on 4/4.  I had my first appointment with him and he was wonderful!  So supportive and down to earth.

Good Luck!  I was doing VGS as well till I found out my insurance won't cover it!

Thank you both so much! I'm still struggling with 3 of those dang 6 pounds. It's going sooooo slowly. I have an appt on the 24th to see where I am. I'm just thinking, "fall off, fall off, fall off," but the weight isn't listening. . I just found out today that bedford counseling is doing a 12 week course on handling emotional junk. I'll be there...lol

Hi I am just starting out this process going to an information session on July 2 at CMC was wondering how long the process takes until you get a surgery date?
