Undecided.... scared away

So I went to a free seminar 2 weeks ago, had consultation with Surgeon last week and thorugh my insurance I pretty much was set to have the surgery (Gastric bypass) by about February. He was very FAST to push Gastric at me and our appt lasted a whole of 5 minutes. I didn't have many questions because I understand it but I really felt like a lab rat.... All i had to do was 1 nutrionist visit, psych eval, Labs (which i did), and sleep study. Long story short I work at the hospital where my surgery would be taken place and our neighboring unit, which I work on sometimes, is where I would stay for 24hr.... So i asked the nurses about this Doctor and ALL of their responses were DONT LET HIM TOUCH YOU. They all said he has a bad rep at the hospital (although I question why since he is still employed). Anyways after hearing this I was a little scare and now am going to a 2nd seminar with a different hospital and surgeon on 1/10. What would you guys do in this situation? I mean the 1st Surgeon does these surgeries weekly, but should I just go see the new surgeon? Im pretty scared now and really wanted to have the surgery at my hospital, but now I guess I wont be...

I would definitely check out your alternatives.  I think it's scary that they got you through so fast to have the surgery.  There's a reason this should take a while to get to.  I personally took the long route to get mine.  I waited for the best doctor in our area.  I could have got it quicker at another hospital, but I am sure it would not have been worth it.  I had a friend who got a lap band at a different hospital and had several complications directly related to the surgery.  She ended up going to the same surgeon I used, Dr. O'Malley, for him to fix it.  There's another hospital near here with a less expericned surgeon who does these operations, and sure she does them regularly, but she has had serious issues too.  I think it's definitely worth while to do some research and use the best surgeon possible - even if it takes longer.  It's your life - not something to take lightly.  Good luck and let us know how you make out with it!
