"10/04/00: I have a consultation with
Dr. Pearce on 10/18/00. I am very excited
about meeting with him and hope that he is
able to help me. They are following the
progress of a WLS patient on the OKC news.
I have been told that Dr. Pearce did her
surgery. I would love to hear from anyone
who has had experience with this surgeon.
The procedure I want is the Roux en-Y (RNY)
Gastric Bypass. Does anyone know if he
does this procedure. If he doesn't, what
type of WLS does he perform? Lynn
10/19/00: I had my first consulation with Dr. Pearce yesterday. I was very favorably impressed. He performs the Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery only. Fortunately, this was the procedure I wanted. He spent plenty of time explaining the procedure and aftercare. He answered all the questions I had about the surgery. My sister went to the appointment with me and he let her sit in on the consultation. He willingly answered her questions also. I feel very confident about Dr. Pearce and am glad he will be my surgeon.
10/30/00: Just got off the phone with Dr. Pearce's insurance clerk Darrell. IT IS OFFICIAL - - I AM SCHEDULED FOR 17 NOV 00 at 9:30. YEAH!! Darell is the best!!
11/23/00: 6 days post op and doing great. If you are looking for an experienced open RNY doctor, I highly recommend this surgeon. I hope I don't need any further surgery, but I would not hesitate to use this surgeon again ... and not just for WLS."
