His DS photo looks like the old BPD...(as in a large pouch). You might want to let him know.

@Pugcrazy did you ever get a copy of your operative report?

Holy crap - that IS a BPD and not a DS - @Pugcrazy you need to get your op report, because I don't know that I've heard of Sharma being a DS surgeon either.

Hopefully it is the DS. If you look at the video above the diagram it shows a real DS.

Dr. Gary Belzberg. He does all bariatric surgeries (band, sleeve, RNY, DS) as well as most GI surgeries. See list here:

There is no direct email for him. Once you're a Kaiser member, you can be put in touch with him. He practices out of : 1050 W. Pacific Coast Hwy, Harbor City, CA 90710. 310-602-7927. You can call that number and explain your purpose.

Here's some stuff on him:

I researched him carefully and found no evidence of malpractice, lawsuits, etc. Quite the opposite, actually. He seems to be a surgical savant. Everyone that I know of who had him is happy and has lost their weight. It's Kaiser so if you're looking to develop a touchy-feely relationship with your surgeon, go elsewhere. You will also need to be your own advocate afterward. But I'll venture to say he knows the GI system/surgeries better than most DS doctors, despite the fact that he hasn't done that many DSs themselves. I think it's good to have a surgeon who understands the big anatomical picture, has done all the surgeries and can therefore handle any situation thrown at him.

I seem to remember that in an office visit she along with Sharma took apart and reassembled the parts involved in the DS on a mannequin or something and she felt good that it was the real thing, that's IF I haven't gotten my people mixed up.

I think I remember that as well.

 

[Clematis]

She's on an airplane right now but I'm sure she'll check in to say she grilled Sharma like a hotdog and was confident he did the real DS as we all know it.

Warden has a poor reputation in the DS world.
