I am writing this on behalf of my husband, who just had surgery on Tuesday. Ours is not a simple…read moreprocess, but one that a year from seminar to surgery. This is of no fault to Dr. Aragon or the Bariatric Center. In fact, if it weren't for them, a serious diagnosis may not have been discovered until a more critical stage. My husband's insurance covered the surgery, with the regular standard of 6 months monitored-not a diet plan- weight management with a registered dietitian. He was required to do the sleep study, EGD, Echo and labs--all standard regardless what prior reviewers stated. Each month we went to see the dietitian, gain more knowledge, make sure there was no weight gain and be back the following month. It was clearly explained that any weight loss prior to surgery was of course ok, just no weight gain. It is for the purpose of showing that a patient is ready mentally to make the change. Anyway, we had reached the 6 month mark and had blood work done to give a final go ahead to schedule surgery. That blood work showed incredibly high white blood cell number and this became a concern. We were referred to an Oncologist Hematologist. Unfortunately, the 1st one we went to was not worth mentioning. The doctor we ended up with is amazing! My husband has CLL-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. This was devastating news, but the doctor assured us that with the right treatment, surgery could still happen. It took several months, lots of labs, a bone marrow biopsy and medication, but his numbers started dropping and the oncologist was more than happy to provide a letter and phone call that my husband was cleared for surgery. The entire time, Dr. Aragon and the staff at BC of KS kept in touch and didn't push him aside. We had maybe 1 hiccup with the staff, but that happens at times. Surgery went great, the staff pre op and post op are tops in our books! Considering we are in this new society where masks are a day to day needed place, we weren't sure if I would be able to stay or not. There was no issue with me staying after surgery. I waited from pre op time to when he was brought to his room after surgery. The entire staff was friendly, compassionate, caring and like their jobs! This is not something found in regular hospital settings anymore, or at least not often. These individuals enjoy their work and it shows. Dr. Aragon, could not ask for a better surgeon/physician. Wonderful bedside manner and ability to explain without using only medical terms. We are just beginning this new journey and can't wait to see where it takes us! All we can say is thank you! We can say that a major diagnosis was discovered and getting treated, a daily amount of at least 9 prescription meds-mostly diabetic related-have been stopped and our life has a wonderful new start!

I got a gastric bypass from Dr. Hamilton on 8/22/22 and two this day. My stomach has never been…read moreright. They did not tell me first of all that I would not be able to metabolize a medication I was taking and I would almost die of an overdose. Then I had a staple found in my stomach and an endoscopy that they did. And they charged me for it. Finally, my stomach has never been the same. I have so much more acid, difficulty digesting, constantly feeling nauseous after I eat. Just a lot of different complications. I do take licorice root of all things and this does help my stomach some. Plus, I have medication for nausea now. But it's not fun going through pain every single day after you eat no matter how much you eat. I even had trouble taking pills now. I would not recommend these people. I think this is a chop shop to tell you the truth. They do more procedures at this office than any other office in the United States. What should that tell you? I figured they know what they were doing, but I think I was wrong.
