I had gastric bypass surgery in July 2013 lost 200 pounds had alot of excess hanging skin seen Dr.McCurry at Norton weight loss center in Louisville ky where I had my surgery done he seemed like a EXCELLENT choice for my surgery so I called and scheduled a consultation with him I liked him and we set the date for December 23 2015 he had not ordered any lab work until 1 hour before surgery I had a pannicullary and a butt lift done I stayed over night went home next day needless to say I started developing complications I didn't know it but I had contacted M.r.s.a. during my surgery after 1 month of going to ER I finally got diagnosed from a young woman who just got out of Medical School I fought this horrible thing for over 1 and a half years when I was in the hospital I not one time seen a wound care doctor and Dr.McCurry quit coming to the hospital after 3 times I seen hospital list doctors in my opinion he is a EVIL man who only cares about the money please don't have him do anything to you I promise you will be sorry

Going ahead with surgery despite no prior tests – for anyone, but especially with your medical history – is a HUGE RED FLAG. You shouldn’t have had the surgery that day, period.
So your surgeon was very sloppy, very greedy, or both. He put his schedule and bottom line ahead of your health – AND the hospital let it happen. (Not to mention the anesthesiologist, nurses, etc.).
Of course your surgeon isn’t involved anymore! I’m sure the hospital told him to stay well away.
If they haven’t already, the hospital/doc’s insurance company will try to con you into taking a little bit of $ and signing something that takes away all your future rights – and even your right to talk to anyone about it. There’s almost always a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) clause.
BUT EVEN IF YOU DID sign something get in touch with a lawyer.
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve had numerous surgeries -- but NEVER without lots of lab work and a doctor’s exam first. As I’m sure you know by now, important tests need to be done to make sure you’re healthy enough for the surgery and to flag any possible concerns for the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.
In my experience, surgeon’s offices are incredibly organized and super-meticulous about details – which obviously is how it should be! I usually get two phone calls from a nurse, going over all the details.
Please do what you can now to look after yourself!
