Dieter Pohl MD.

Has anyone here had him as their surgeon? I went to the seminar last week and met him. I have my first appointment with him next month.

I am contemplating the lap band procedure. Any info about him from experience would be appreciated! Thanks

LOL! Sorry - I thought I was in a different forum!!

Hi!

Welcome to the board!

I had Dr. Pohl do my bypass surgery. I, personally, think he is an amazing surgeon and a wonderful person in general.

He's caring and committed to helping us before, during and after our procedure.

He helped me get a Post-Op bariatric support group meeting up and running at Roger Williams.

I highly recommend him!

Thank you Jules!

I also had him and I think he is a great surgeon!

I had Dr. Pohl and so did my Husband.  You could not trust your life with anyone better.  He is my Angel. He changed my world with doing gastric bypass on my 4/2008 and just did the band for my husband in 5/2009. Now we are both getting healthy and gonna live a long life.  You made a good choice in Doctors I think.  Best of luck and welcome to the looser bench.

Hi there!  I did not have Dr. Pohl.  I had Dr. Giovanni ( from the same office, love her!) but I have to say that when I go to the office for something and Dr. Pohl is there, he has been very personable and has asked how I am doing and all.  And I am NOT his patient.  I think that says alot about a person.  Good luck and hope to see you at the support meetings.  You do not have to have already had the surgery to go to the meetings.  Its a great place to get information from those that "had been there, done that"  ALL are welcome!  Alot of us on this board go. Ask Jules for more information.   Take care!   Eldy

Thank you all for replying to my thread and letting me know what you think of him as a surgeon and a person! I feel pretty good going into this! It seems as though I am makeing a wise choice by going through Dr. Pohl.


((Hugs to all))
