"My expereience might be different than others. But I only saw my surgeon for about 10 minutes before surgery and 2 minutes after. Dr. Carr, a young doctor from his office who looked 22, did the inital intake interview, went over the WLS booklet, poked my belly and talked about types of surgeries. After he was through Dr. Hoga walked in and asked if I had any questions. And left within two minutes. rnrnIn Pre-op apptoinment I Saw Dr. Higa for about 8 minues when he went over last minutes items. I had 4 questions which he did answer.rnrnLast, after my surgery I was walking the halls when he came to see me. As I walked up he looked at me and told the other doctor that my ankles were sweeling, add lasix. He never said a word to me. So he is not a people person at all. He is a great surgeon, having done over 7,000 RNYs. So would I recommend him? Yes."
