Raymond Georgen
"Dr. Georgen was very blunt and didnt beat around the bush whatsoever! I liked that. He definitely stressed the risks and emphasized what a huge life decision this is, that its not something to take lightly. He answered all of my questions... and said he felt like he was taking his SAT's all over again. LOL Hes right, though, I did have 3 pages of questions for him.<p>His staff wasnt the friendliest, and I waited way too long to see him, but, it was worth the wait. At times I did feel like he was rushing me. I was the last appointment of the day, and an hour and fifteen minutes late at that. I can understand why hed want to get out of there after such a long day, but, he should maybe set up his appointments better, allow more time for his bariatric patients.<p>Anyway, theyre scheduling my pre-op tests as soon as possible. He decided to waive the psyche evaluation in my case. Not sure why, but, he must have thought I had my head screwed on the right way. LOL He also decided to make me see a hemotologist because I had a blood disorder when I was younger. Cant be safe enough, he said. He stressed how important it is for him to check everything beforehand, so that there arent any surprises during the surgery. One thing I didnt know is that there is another surgeon with him in the operating room. They each take one part of the surgery... him on the stomach and the other on the intestine, or vise versa. That way you get in and out faster, less time under anestesia, plus two sets of eyes watching for trouble. Thats a good thing!<p>Im not sure about the aftercare, but, I do know he keeps a close eye on you for months to come.<p>Overall, I liked him and he seems like a very down to earth person who genuinely cares.<p><font size=4 color=gold>***UPDATE!!***</font> The more I see Dr. Georgen, the more I like him! He is so much like you and me. He gets goofier and more mellow with every visit. Hes a very busy man, but, he keeps you on your toes, and is genuinely worried about our progress. I love him for that. Some surgeons do their part by doing the surgery, then dont care whats going on after. He is truly concerned and lets you know it. He also shows emotion, happiness when he sees the weight is coming off... concern when something isnt right. Hes great! I cant say enough about him. Overall... his surgical talents and bedside manners are excellent!<p><p><img src="http://twoperks.homestead.com/files/cornflowerblueline2.gif">"
