I just wanted to introduce myself as the Nurse Coordinator for the Bariatric Program at Paradise Valley Hospital working with Dr. Steven Simon and Dr. Eric Schlesinger. I am also a former patient 4 1/2 years RNY at PVH with Dr. Magary. I have lost 160# and I look forward to assisting you if possible . I assist with in-patient education and will be expanding our program very quickly. Thanks for the site, and best wishes always....

I met you in the hospital July3. I had my revision with Dr Schlesinger. I am the one that had all the problems. I hope that people admitted after me had a way better experience than me. What does your job entail ? Good luck in your new position.

Hi Dawn-
I am so glad to hear from you, and I hope things are going well for you. I am working hard, along with the nuring staff to create a good experience for each of our patients having WLS. My position keeps evolving, but there is a focus on in-patient education and working with the in-patients while they are here, along with the staff. If I can assist you in anyway, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Wishes....

Hi Lori, When and where is your support group? I am moving here from Tampa Fl and looking for some support groups. Thanks Gail

Both of the surgeons have different support group times. We will be (hopefully) soon offering them at PVH, so that we will have a larger space for everyone to attend, and will be able to bring in all of the ancillary personnel to assist. In the meantime, please call me 602.923.5612 or email [email protected] and I will be more than happy to give you the times for support group for PVH's surgeons.
