"I was scheduled for Lap/RNY with Dr. Juarez on Oct 1 after a 10 month wait.
I elected to change to Dr. Simpson and have the DS procedure. He has a completely different approach to treatment from Dr Juarez. It has taken me 2 months to get the new date of Nov. 3 with Dr. Simpson.
So far I am impressed both with Dr. Simpson and with his office staff.
Dr Simpson takes a lot of time and effort to make sure of a "one on one" relationship. For example Dr. Simpson's classes are 4-5 people at a time as compared to 200 at a time with other programs!
11/2004 (One year post op and AT GOAL WEIGHT! Now 200lb and HOLDIN! Down 200lb overall and 130lb since surgery)
I have nothing but praise for Dr. Simpson and his staff! They have been helpful every step of the way.
A very large part of the WLS program is the post op follow up and Dr. Simpson's follow up program is first class.
The only people who seem to have problems are the ones who never come to group meetings and don't pay attention at the pre-op briefings.
I actually spoke to one woman who was outraged that she couldn't eat as much after the surgery! (DUH!!!)
Learn all you can and do everything you are told and you will have good results!
There IS a lot of help out there, but you DO have to ask for it!"
