PS and GS needed ASAP St Pete

Hello, Complete RNY memeber here! I had hernia repair done in Oct 05, now I am being told I have another one. My question is, since this is almost in the same place as the last and I have read it can be caused from the weak muscles... I want to have tt and repair done at the same time, (hoping ins will pay for tt) LOL) Can you tell me of a Dr anywhere on the South West coast of this fine state that would do it? I have found GS that works in tandum with PS but no ONE person to do the job... I am just thinking there has to be one in the Tampa St Pete area, I am just having no luck finding one. I have United Health Care. Thank you in advance for your help. Brandi 411/135

Brandie, there is a DR. Halpren in Tampa that that did a TT and hernia repair on a member of our local support group, you may want to give him a call. If I remember correctly, she was very satisfied with his work. Good luck, Steve
