NEED INFO ON DR. CRUM FOR A FRIEND!!!!

I have a friend who had the surgery over 20 years ago, needless to say, it's a lost deal and she is looking for revision. I heard that Dr. Crumm from stamford hosptial does this. Does anyone know anyone else that I can direct my friend. She is in poor health and I want to help her. Dr. A turned her down flat! I guess he felt that it was too risky, but I want to extend every offer to her. So please if you know any drs. Who can help her, please let me know, or info on dr . Crumm. Blknectar

Is your friend from the Norwalk area? If he/she is you also might want to check ou Fairfield County Bariatrics. Dr's. Niel and Craig Floch, and Dr. Tim Ehrlich. They also operate from Bridgeport, at St. Vincents. They are top-notch doctors. They offer extensive support both pre- and post-op and, I think, some of the most caring professional doctors that you can find. They offer a calibre of service that you just don't find at most doctor offices. There number is 203-852-2600, and are well worth investigating.You can click on Dr. Ehrlichs link on this message for more information. I don't know for sure if they'll do a revision for your frien, but I wouldn't rule it out untill you speak to them. Good luck, Bob

Dr. Ralph Crum is out of Norwalk Hospital. He has extensive experience performing revisions laparoscopcially. Also, because of his training in trauma surgery, he is ideally suited to perform higher-risk surgeries.

Hi. You can read patient reviews of Dr. Crum on his OH profile here: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+reviews+Ralph+Crum+ghj.html HTH and best of luck to your friend!
