On Tuesday, January 15th, 2002, my husband and I went and met with Dr. Fisher. He seemed pretty young to me. I don’t have problem with that, because I think you are supposed to continue to be monitored for the rest of your life. I think I would prefer a young doctor, so that he won’t so quickly outgrow me. I am not sure if I said that right. Basically, I would like the same doctor for the long haul and not change too often. He answered lots of questions. He seems knowledgeable and very nice. I was interested in having this surgery the prior summer, however, the office is so busy with WLS patients that I had to wait to even call for an appointment. The staff seems receptive so far. I'll add more as I go further into this process.
My first impression of Dr. Fisher was good. He is a very nice man and also very patient. My husband had many concerns regarding this procedure. He also had many questions that I did not have the answers to. Dr. Fisher answered all of his and my questions. I am so excited to be getting the surgery done and I am very happy that Dr. Fisher is my doctor!! The aftercare program is unbelievable. I have heard of programs that were for 1 weekend day and then you are on your own. The aftercare program Dr. Fisher's office has set up includes meetings with a nutritionalist for the first year after surgery, along w/ up to 12 visits to their gym. I will be meeting with the nutritionalist about 8-9 times in the year after surgery. That is amazing to me. At this moment - I personally have not had any bad experiences with anyone at this office. My surgery date is about 5 weeks away - I will keep you all posted.
My first impression of Dr. Fisher is that he is young! But a very nice and knowledgable man. I really had to listen to him carefully because he is a fast talker! He carefully and thoroughly explained the procedure, risks, benefits and possible complications. This Dr. requires his patients to go through nutirtional and psychlogical testing before the surgery. So now I am just waiting for insurance approval and I have been told that can take a week or two.
