TT

Of all of Dr. Aranow's patients on this board how mnay have had Dr. Aranow do their TT.  I am going to let him do mine because I trust him and now I know him and I feel comfortable letting him do it.  He did my RNY and took out my appendix so I know he is good!!!!

Hi Susan,
       Dr. Aranow did a TT and hernia repair for me in mid November and I am really pleased with the results. There are no 'dog ears' or 'chicken beaks' that I keep reading about on here. He also threw in a mons lift that was unexpected but wonderful! He did my open RNY in June of 2005 and after losing 170 lbs, I started to check into a TT. I did do a consult with a plastic surgeon, but the price really set my time frame back, plus I was told that he didn't do hernia repair so I would need another surgeon there as well. Dr. Aranow's follow up care was great as usual for him and his price can't be beat, especially if you have a hernia that your insurance will cover but no coverage for the TT. I hope this helps,

Is Dr. A. a plastic surgeon?  This is not an easy surgery, trust me...we don't only have a TT, we have skin removal, which makes you very prone to infections.  So please be careful!  I am not doubting Dr. A's ability, just warning you.

Good luck.

As far as I know JA that's the only thing he does is the TT and it's usually done with the hernia repair.

For some reason I thought he did gastric bypass type surgery only...My mistake...Thanks for the clarification

Nope. He did my gall bladder in August. He is a general surgeon and according to OH 95% of what he does is WLS. I know I had a appointment canceled once cause he had to do an emergency appendectomy on a teen. It's nice to know he does all types so I can go back to him for whatever and not have to worry about someone trying to "fix" my insides when nothing is wrong cause they don't know what I should look like.
