Hello,
I have been lurking here for the past week or so, with a couple of posts here and there (couldn't help myself) :) I am still in the research phase (VSG) and would like to know if there is any good or bad experiences regarding Dr. Pompa. I have read her Bio and reviews on here and on Sleevetalk, but would like first hand accounts from current member's. I have looked at two other Drs ( Alvarez & Aceves) , both of them seem to be very well qualified, but I just can't come up with the money difference...but would rather go without than end up with issues. Thanks so much for all the information that I have already gathered here.

I was a sleeve revision from a band. She did my surgery 2 years ago. I am 30 pounds from goal. They are very professional, and nice. I think anyone who has this done needs a hospital setting, not surgical center. At least they need emergency equipment if you go surgical center. Some places just have a crash cart, not good enough. Just research, you will find your surgeon. She is very good at what she does, at least for me.

Thank you for the information,
It looks like they have a ICU, at least from their website, do you know if they do for sure?

Yes they do. They also have the lab and x-ray downstairs.

Thanks so much, unless I find too much negative information on here, then I will probably go with her.

I haven't talked to a coordinator, should I be? I've just talked directly to the Clinic, I believe Dr. Daniela the NUT is who I talked with.

Wife Had Rny 3/1/10 by Pompa, place real clean, communication good, Modern,safe everyone u deal with nice, Professional! Wife is down 122 Pounds since surgury.
               Make sure of pricing and if any extra charges could come up & how much! Would recommend Dr Pompa it was a pleasent experince for us as its a big deal going out of state, but all went well for us as it should for you.
                    Also we didn;t have a cordinater just dealt stright with Dr Danilea
                       May The Lord Bless you WLS is a great vehicle back to health
