Dr courin?

Has anyone had their surgery performed  by Dr Courin in Modesto/ Stockton area? 

Hello HappyAddy,

I had my RNY surgery performed by Dr. Coirin in Modesto in 2004. Dr Coirin is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him to anyone seeking WLS.  He was kind and caring and that helped to calm any fears I had at the time. 

Best wishes to you,

Thank you! 

Yes I had Dr.Coirin do my RNY in April '05 and did great for 2 years and then the weight came back on. I opted for a revision to the duodenal switch (DS) and I wished Dr. Coirin would have done it, but he didn't so I had to travel 3 hours to get it done by Dr. Keshishian and I am so much happier. But what Dr. Coirin did was awesome. I did my research, checked the revision board, failed weight loss surgery board, and the DS forum here on OH, and made my decision to get cut again just to get it right. Good luck to you. Have you had the surgery yet? I just noticed the date you posted. LOL.

Yeah, I know I'm late on this one.  Yes, he did mine...Very good doctor.  Remember that you may not see much of him.  You will be seeing his PA much of the time.  The big issues is does he makes good cuts and has good hands...Yes and yes.  Most bypass surgeons are so busy with so many patients they just don't have much time for each one.  He will give you the time you need...But at some point you will be moved to your PCP.  Most if not all, PCPs know about RNY and what to look for.  You do a lot of your own homework, but after surgery expect the hand holding to come from your PCP...
