Dr. Zoe Deol

Hello - I was just curious if anyone here from Michigan has gotten, or will be banded by Dr. Zoe Deol?

I've started looking for a surgeon, and she seems like she is highly qualified.

Thanks for any replies! :)

Have you tried the "Search" for Dr. Deol? There are bandsters here that used her.:)

I LOVE Dr. Deol! There are quite a few of us her and we all just adore her! She is very professional, very strict, but also very warm and caring. Her office manager is Rebecca. Call M,T,W to talk to her and she is a doll too. She will answer any questions you have. Honestly, not to continue gushing here (!) but from the first minute I called and talked to Rebecca I have known I was with the right surgeon.

Feel free to email or PM me if I can answer any questions!

Best wishes to you!

New Hope - Thanks for telling me about the Search area...lol...sometimes I forget that these sites have that option :)

Debra - I am so happy that you had a great experience with Dr. Deol. I've been doing some reasearch, and she seems highly qulified! It also makes me feel better knowing that she has performed hundreds of lap band surgeries!

And you are right! Rebecca is very very nice! I called her office this morning to go to a seminar on October 19th at 7:00. I am really looking forward to going!

Dr. Deol will be banding me on 10-25-04. She is excellent, as is her nurse / office mgr. Rebecca.

You won't be sorry to look into it. Her website is www.michiganbariatrics.com

Dr. Deol is the best. I really do not think I could have found a more supportive system. I have been away at school and she calls to check on me all the time. One cannoy really expect that much from such a busy doctor.

Hey there !! My name is Karen, I was banded on July 6, 2004 by Dr. Deol. I have lost 44 pounds as of today. I was just wondering how you are doing? I feel as though the scale isn't moving much lately...I'm not getting enough excersice either however!!! I am so happy with Rebecca and Zoe. Listen to me just rambling on.... I'm new to this forum, and it's so nice to know that there are people we can all talk to about any issues. Please let me know how your weight loss is coming.

Thanks,

KarenD

Can anyone share the cost (especially if its out of pocket) that Dr.Deol charges? Also are fills included in that cost for the 1st year? I may have to be out of pocket & want a in state Doctor but also a reasonable price.

Hi KarenD, you've done great! You might want to go to the introduction section and post a new thread. You'll get more responses. Hope to get to "know" you better here.

You will absolutely love Dr. Deol....She is the best! She will make you feel like you are the only patient she has, her anesthesia team is also the greatest. I was a little nervous never having had general but after meeting the team-I felt very well cared for. Are you going to Beaumont or Crittenton? I went to Beaumont, it was great. Good luck- let us know if you need anything-I am close by so I'd be glad to get together...Oh there is a support meeting tommorrow night, Troy Community Center 7:00. I'll be ther if there is not too much snow.
Good Luck
Nancy

I'll Suceed... Yes you will !!! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Deol and her Receptionist Rebecca. Anyone that has been fortunate to find her can tell you. I promise that you will not be sorry. The Lap Band (so far) has been the best thing I could have every done for myself. I was banded July 6, 2004. (First patient to have the surgery at Crintenton Hospital) I have lost 44 pounds total, since the first day I ever spoke to Dr. Deol. I'm not doing so well with my excersice program, but the weight as come off thus far.

I have Blue Cross Ins. and I believe I ended up paying a small co-pay. Not real sure, I'll try to look back over my records, and get back with you on my out-of-pocket cost. However, I do know that I have not had to pay any extra for my fills. I believe those to be included in Dr. Deol prices.

Please stay in touch... Let me know how things go for you.
