Dr. B did a Sleeve to Bypass Revision on me due to reflux. I had a consult with another Dr first who said that insurance wouldn’t pay for my revision because of my lower BMI. Dr. B and his staff knew exactly what was needed to get insurance approved!! I can’t say enough positive things about him and his staff. 5 months post-op and no reflux!!

Dr. Bagshahi is a great surgeon. I had a duodenal switch 12/2018 and have had no complications. Things that are important if you are looking for a surgeon: if you want help with your obesity, he’s your guy! He is super knowledgeable about obesity, and obesity related illnesses. During my surgery we discovered I have stage 2 NASH which is a complication of long term obesity. Yes, you are going to wait a little bit. Yes you will see frequent changes in most of the office staff. Yes some visits may feel a bit more rushed than others. BUT you must also advocate for yourself! If you are at your 9 month follow up, as I was, and you have started eating like crap again, SPEAK UP. He was ready to intervene right away. TAKE YOUR VITAMINS. DRINK YOUR WATER. GET IN YOUR PROTEIN. If you do not do these things and expect him to move mountains, you are not at the right office. He is a brilliant surgeon. But he is just that, a surgeon. He works with his hands. His smile is charming. He is a wiz with knowledge. But at times his bedside manner could use some work. He is also human. He is entitled to a bad day here and there. IF you can get down with this, then Dr. B is your guy. He is my guy. He saved my fat life. Now I’m still rebuilding a new one. Thank you Dr. B for your amazing skills!! Thank you to the office manager Rachel who kills herself daily doing the insurance verifications, pre-certifications, assisting with billing, fills in every position in the office when its needed, answers the phones, THAT NEVER STOP RINGING, answering the 10k questions every bariatric patient has through every stage of the process and so much more. Thank you Rachel for taking my calls nearly everyday for the first 2 weeks after surgery and reminding me why I did this when I insisted that there was no way I could drink 100oz of water and 100gms of protein a day. Thank you to the Nurse Practitioner who keeps it real in the room when talking about eating habits and how things are going in my new body. The same nurse practitioner who calls to tell you the results of your post op lab work and what we need to change in our vitamins in between visits. Thank you to the front and back office staff who don’t seem to make it long because you under estimated just how busy his office is. The phones don’t stop ringing. The patients don’t stop coming. Thank you for your kindness even when you are having the worst day and Dr. B just chewed your butt for missing that heart medication or forgetting that copay payment. You guys are the friggin best. And this nurse and patient loves you for saving my life.
