I also had a difficult experience with the Roux-en-Y surgery Dr. Randall Bolar performed on me in 2003. Like the previous reviewer, I felt desperate and chose him after being turned down by other surgeons. Throughout the years following the surgery, I struggled with persistent illness, chronic nausea, and frequent fainting spells, even while strictly following post-operative diet protocols. I regret having undergone weight loss surgery with Dr. Bolar. Years later, my health has significantly declined due to complications from the procedure. I no longer have normal pancreatic function and must take 12 Zenpep pills daily just to digest food. I also suffer from severe, recurring hypoglycemia that causes me to pass out. Looking back, I would never have chosen this surgery. If you are considering this procedure, please be aware that the long-term consequences can be life-altering and devastating. Hindsight is 20/20, and I strongly advise caution

Had my surgery for roux n y and was a good candidate,above average health but the obesity was making my life as a nurse difficult. Fair amount of problems popped up along the way. In the beginning it was like being prepped for a time share. Almost like ringing bells each time they suckered people with lies. The girl attending to me said she would be right with me, not to be afraid and she will she her when she got out of surgery. Never saw or heard from her again. Doctor Bolar never checked or talked to me after. I got fill ins to come talk to me.. 6 weeks later- deadly diarrhea, tested me for everything on the planet( my local hospital. He herded groups in like cattle the night of the sign up- smart man- took half his time and was able to use that in his Jag. All kidding aside- it has been 20 years and I am sicker and sicker everyday because I have reactive hypoglycemia very severe. I was told to eat 6 small meals and snacks- now I’m not your everyday stupid Joe. It’s obvious that my pancreas is overshooting insulin. It does it whether I each a small bite or a plate. Went I with a horrible stomach ache and dr. Greambaum? Told me that during the ct, he could see where I was looped wrong. Now days I where a continuous ly gets lows quite often with nothing and I pass out. You didn’t treat me with any respect at all and my sugar gets so totally whacked out, my energy for the day. I m glad that least you get to walk around healthy. I am sicker and very tired of my regular sugars of 40’s and 50’s. Then you just moved- just like that almost like trying to leave me before I went bad. No forwarding dr to send me to or even notify me. What a piss poor dr are you. Shame on you and bless the poor innocent people who have found out what you are. My girlfriend talked me into you- now she is dead. By all means feel free to call me. I would love to hear from you.
