Sorry I don't have any experience with these doctors, but I just wanted to say CONGRATS on getting your journey started!  Good luck with everything! Flo

 I don't know of the doctor, just wanted to say,"Good job" with the weight loss and hoping that it will be smooth sailing until your surgery.

Congratulations!!!  Dr. Dunnican did my surgery this past April. I think he's an awesome surgeon and has a great bedside manner.  I haven't had any complications. So far so good.  I did have a problem with anxiety attacks in the hospital post surgery, he was very understanding and kept reassuring me that all would be fine. I plan on being at the support group tomorrow night if all goes well.

I also had an appointment with Dr. Dunnican last week.  First time I met him and really liked him.  He will be doing my surgery (RNY) on August 25th.  I had my first appointment with Dr. Singh.  Dr. Dunnican assured me at least 4 times that if I was not comfortable with him I could have Dr. Singh.  Honestly, I really liked him and have no qualms about having him do my surgery.  Can't wait!

That is good now.  i was at work one night talking the one of the general surgery interns and he was also saying good things about him.

thanks all
