Topic: Dr. Alperovich, Thien Nguyen & Jeffrey Hunter patients HELP ME OUT!!!!

Sooo..I am finding that it is EXTREMELY hard to find a surgeon here for post op care, because most doctors here have liability insurance that wont allow them to treat anyone who they didnt operate on. Okay, that SUCKS!

So, I called to try and see Dr. Chebli - was denied. Same with Dr. Srikanth. Saw Dr. Lauter and thought he was a joke - won't be going back to him.

FINALLY got Dr. Alperovich to see me next week, and I made appointments to see Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Jeffrey Hunter as well - just because I don't know which one I will like. Today was the jackpot day because I found THREE surgeons who will see me post op, and who can possibly help with my vitamin absorption issues.

Any of you who are patients of Dr. Alperovich, Dr. Thien Nguyen, or Dr. Jeffrey Hunter? Give me your thoughts. Any of you had any vitamin absorption problems or LONG (3mth) stalls, but you know your pouch is still intact because you cant finish a kids meal still? I NEED YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE!!!

THANKS!!!

Yes. I think her name on here was Max something.....

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!
