gary baker plastic surgeon ?????overland park???
ok I was asking for help in finding a plastic surgeon who accpted medicare...thank you jan and poohbear...i clicked on the link poohbear sent and found one in overland park (where i live) LISTN to this story!!! I called his office (gary baker) HE personally answered the phone...i immedietly hung up...i thought i accidently called his home phone lol...i looked on the internet for an office number found it, called back, once again he answered personally, so i bit the bullet explained my situation, medicare only, and my needed hysterectomy, ovary removal and hoping for the panni removal same time. all that hanging flesh on my upper thighs can't be good for healing an open wound, my ovarin cyst is 11 cm long and fluid filled so it is too big to remove it laproscopically so open surgery it is....anywho...he made me an appt. for th following day, i got there this morning, he had no staff... he took my history, he gave me my paperwork, he copied my insurance card...there was literally no one else in the whole building...I am wondering if i should be worried or what?!! this guy is certified in 4 differn't areas 2 of them in plastics and reconstructive. EXCELLENT credentials, but he basically approved me if you will on the spot! no exam, he said he to have my ob/gyn surgery scheduler call him and they would hammer out the details. I am kinda freaking out, happy because i need the panni done so bad, it is AWFUL I have lost over 150 lb.s and would lose more if i felt better ad able to excercize more i'm sure. my hubby said he thinks the economy is so bad maybe the plastic surgeons are hurting for patients. i'm thinking maybe he's a bad doc or sommething ....i guess since it all fell in my lap i shouldn't second guess?? what do you all think...swanky office and all but all staff on vacay? weird or what....nice doc tho btw
Will you give an update on if this worked out, or if you are still in the process?
If you had to go ahead with the gyno surgery without the panni removal, I want to say I have seen at least one reference to Dr. Gary Anthone in Omaha, Nebraska doing a panniculectomy, and I know he takes Medicare. He doesn't focus on plastic surgery, he mostly does duodenal switches, but he may take your case. He has a lot of good reviews on ObesityHelp's surgeon section.
