Dr. Gomez and his staff are AMAZING. Jackson South Community Hospital was amazing. The Bariatric team is awesome
My surgeon was wonderful. I am so thankful to him for helping me to get my life back. My first impression of him was very positive, and it has only gotten better over time. His office staff is great. He never pushed the surgery on me at all. He was very factual and explained all of the complications of the surgery and let me make my own decision. If I had it to do over again, I would choose him again every time. Not only do I think his surgical competence is top of the line, I think that his bedside manner could not be any better. He is a truly caring human being.

DR GOMEZ was very honest about the risks,procedure and if was sure the surgery was for me.He was not trying to sell his services at all.His staff is really busy,Emilio was very helpful i must say...
After surgery you will get your follow up visits,but that is about it!you are pretty much on your own..
Dr. Gomez saved my life. :)
He is very professional, and also very caring and sincere. The office staff is amazing! I always look forward to my appointments, because I get excited about seeing everyone again!
Dr. Gomez performs his surgeries lap, and usually requires that you lose some weight before your surgery, on your own. This is important because it will shrink your fatty liver, which could otherwise get damaged if it remains too big. I was required to lose 20 pounds preop, in order for him to perform my surgery. Other patients I spoke to only had to lose 10. It was extremely difficult to do this, and it was hell without my tool! But I did it, because I wanted Dr. Gomez to perform my surgery above all others. And it was so worth it! I have never been happier and healthier in all my life! I would (and do!) recommend Dr. Eddie Gomez to everyone I meet who is considering WLS. :) He is amazing!
When I first me Dr. Eddie Gomez, I thought "Oh man, he is young." but as I started talking to him, he made me feel comftorable. He understood that I am a big woman, and that I have tried all the diets in the world. He wasn't like the other doctors that say to you, "Try eating less, and then you will loose weight" I have had a doctor recently tell me secretly "Starve yourself for one month, only eating crackers..."
His staff- Emilio is a very busy guy, but he is very helpful!
Least about the doctor- Nothing.
Dr. Gomez has asked me a few times, that if I do not want to do this surgery anymore, that its "okay." He likes to make sure that I am 100% sure.
I am not sure about his after care right now.
Overall, He knows what he is doing. He is young and very smart.
Dr. Gomez was very nice. I was able to see him at my first pre-op appointment. Was very up front and told me about the pros and cons of the surgery.
I had my surgery and would highly recommend him. He was sensitive to my needs.
9/10/2003, I had an appointment yesterday with my and met my surgeon, they switched me over to Eddie Gomez because I am not having the lapband surgery and the lap-rny. He is very, very, nice, very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. He actually did his residency in the hospital where I was born in New York. He made me feel very at ease and I cant wait to just get this all over with. I am very exicited but still nervous too.
6/19/2003, I went to Dr. Jacobs office for the first time yesterday. I had a 1:00 appointment and I left his office at 4:30. He was a very nice considerate doctor once I finally got to meet with him. I have to go for the psych and the sleep test and am hoping to have the surgery ok'd and done within the next 3 months. I will keep you posted.
8/8/2003, well I have finally gotten everthing sent in to Humana for approval. I went and got a psych evual and my PCP gave me a letter of neccissity and went to get tested to sleep apnea..I have it very badly so I am really hoping that Humana ok's my surgery although my insurance at work just renewed in July and they have now made anything weight loss related part of their famous "exclusion policy" except when it is medically necessary. I am really anxious to find out. I will keep you posted.
Dr Gomez is very informitive and straight forward. He tells you the risks and the rewards. There is always a risk but the good far out weigh the bad when it comes to something this important.
The office staff I'm sure have quite a lot on ther mind when it comes to making the office run in a smooth fashion. I personally have no use for them. Maybe they could pertend that they have some compassion.
I find that they offer nothing except for follow-up visits to weigh in.
I was never informed of any aftercare or support group that they have from there office. You are really one your own after the surgery.
