Have you found your WLS doctor yet?
Hi,
I know that finding the right doctor for your weight loss surgery is hard sometimes, when there are so many choices. I was a self pay patient, so I looked at many doctors.
Please do not pick a doctor because of the price he is willing to do the surgery for.
Make sure that you are having the surgery done in a full hospital and NOT a clinic. Check this doctor out and read everything there is to read about them. Ask how many days they keep you in the hospital before they send you home. Check and see how many surgeries that the docotor has done that you are going to have. For me I had sleeve surgery and I wanted to know how many successful surgeries my doctor had done and if they he any surgeries that the patient experienced a leak?
This is your body and your life and you have the right to know all these things. If you would like any recommendations please contact me. But all the things I have listed are important for you to know before you put your life in their hands.
