Topic: RE: Doctors avaliable in Boise area
Hi, I am from Idaho,now living up north near Hermiston,ORegon. STOMAPHYX is brand new. FDA has approved it. No incision, 15 minutes!!! I found a dr in Anaheim doing the procedure. I do believe I am going to do this one. Any one who has had previous bariatric surgery is a possible candidate too. It is done through the natural orafice the esophagus.....It sounds so much easier and recovery time is barely there. Any one else think it sounds good too? [email protected]
Topic: Dr. Podany's No longer serving Idaho Falls and area.
I was just informed that Dr. Podany will no longer be in practice in Idaho Falls as a surgeon. All his patients have been turned over to Brian O'Byrne.

YES!!!
I had Laproscopic RNY in Idaho Falls and have Medicaid. There are lots of rules and hoops.
Look up Dr. Podany in Idaho Falls. He's great.

Hi there,
I am having surgery by Dr. Oakley July 23rd -I work at the local hospital as an interpreter and that's who everyone here in Twin Falls recommended. I had an appt with Dr Oakley a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with his staff and programs. They also were very proactive about my paperwork, and I was approved 2 days after it was sent to the ins -so I highly recommend him. He is very professional and knowledgeable and nice, he includes you in the whole process. If you want to look at my profile you can click on his name (right under my picture) and it will take you directly to a link of comments on his work and his staff from people in Idaho and nearby places. Good luck with your decision making!

I'm from Ogden so I spend a lot of time down there. Family there all over. I am seeing Dr Caltin for my knees and hips. He is one of the best orthopedic surgeons.
I know of Dr Oakley. His reputation is very good. I am going to go to his support group on the 18th. We also have several others that are not listed on the site. My dr wants me to see someone else. I can't remember his name. It is different. They will also refer me to Dr Oakley if I want. I know there is one here who is in it only for the medicade. I have 2 friends who went to him and will not reccomend him. The problem is, they have both moved and I can't find their new phone numbers and I don't know the drs name. All the surgeons that do bariatrics are not OH. Maybe you can come up here for a surgery and I will go down there for another. The world gets to be a small place. If you come up here, I will be here for you. Diana

I live in SLC and I'm looking into coming to Boise so I DON'T have to go to RMAP. I have met with them twice and twice I have been disappointed. I found a surgeon that I really am interested in going to. Here is the link.

Hope this helps.
