Dr. Monajjem explains what is planned for surgery along with possible complications. He answered all questions I had.

I really like Dr. Monajjem and the care he showed in my previous surgeries. I do think my situation is beyond his scope and I wish he would have referred me to someone else this time, which I am doing for myself. I don't like that he didn't give me options for my pain other than drop to 30 BMI and noted in my chart that being a mother of a young child would also mean he wouldn't recommend surgery at this time. I'm in pain and needing to lose a significant amount of weight becomes more difficult and it's a vicious cycle. Then there's my reality and it will be a while before my child grows up. To not be given other options felt really disheartening.

Dr. Monaggem did an excellent job. He took the time to explain everything to me. He laid out the pros and cons of the procedure and I felt totally involved in making the decision on whether or not to have it done at this time. I never felt rushed and I never felt like he was trying to rush me. He stayed fully engaged in the conversation and took the time to listen and answer my questions.
