Vickie, it is:
William Overcash Ocala (352) 368-2828 View RNY, DS/BPD, VBG, LAP-BAND®, Revision, Fobi Pouch GB, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Stomaphyx
Dr.Overcash is one of the main speakers at the Georgia OH Conference in three weeks. Will we see you/or/& your friend there? It's such a new procedure that it is not yet covered by insurances. Mike
Open RNY 5/10/06 and now
Laparoscopic Realize Banding. 4/21/09

Mike, Thanks for the info.  I thought it was Dr. Jawad or Dr. Overcash but couldn't remember for sure.  Of course, I blame all memory loss on surgical anesthesia - including the 18 years between surgeries after my last C-section!!! Sorry, I won't be able to make the GA conference.  Ya'll have a great time! Vickie J.

Hi Vickie - I did the original post about Dr. Overcash/Ocala being one of four doctors (at this time) who are doing the Stomaphyx procedure.  Michael already included his information. The approximate cost is $9,500 - $9,700.00 and it's a "day" procedure like a gallbladder operation.  You go home the same day and in cases the person can go to work the next day (as said by Overcash). Best of luck to your friend.
