http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_50_5.gif I need to hear from some people who have been banned by Dr. Geiss. That is the doc who is doing my surgery. I will be attending the October 3rd meeting. At that time all my pre-op testing will be complete. When do I get a surgery date? Anyone working will the Geiss Team know how it works?

State: New York | Dr. Geiss was my surgeon and I am also an RN who has known and worked with him for 20+ years. He's done well over 1000 lapbanding surgeries and has excellent stats.
You need to call the office and tell the staff that you completed all the pre-op requirements. They will then give your chart to a PA for review. The PA signs off on the chart that day or the next day and you're given a surgery date... 4-6 weeks after all requirements are done.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

State: NY | I am also a Long Islander, Huntington, and i'm game for a get together.
Dr Geiss was(is) my surgeon, I was at the 10/3 meeting, I was the lucky guy who got to tell his first PB story to the crowd. I believe you will also have a nutrition meeting coming up this month...the 17th at 6pm I think, I will be at the post op meeting which follows at 7pm. So you can meet me in between those meetings too!
Dr. Geiss and his staff are absolutely the best. June is his OR nurse and he referred to her at the meeting as the Chief of Staff, or head of the OR, she is amazing, sweet and funny. I couldn't have felt more comfortable going through all of this. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. His current number of surgeries is now past 1400 lapbands. You can always get an answer from his staff, Liz and Kathy handle insurance stuff, Melanie and Dr. Powers will help out with fills, and the new fellow is Evan...he's the late night on call Doc. If you have a problem at 2am...call and he will take care of you.
