Hi Penny Just wondering what the outcome of your upper GI was? I have been having issues with bloating and horrible pain and constipation which are all newly onset. I am 10yrs post op from RNY. It doesn't happen every time I eat but when it does it is extremely painful.
So I had my PS consult today. Sounds good, but I have to wait to see if insurance will cover or not. I am 8-1/2 years out from my RNY, and more than ready to get this done.
Does anyone have experience with University of Michigan?
The dr. seems to have a great bed side manner and all seems to be in check after meeting with them. I have been wanting this done for a long time, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. My husbands work changed from United Health Care to BC/BS of MI in January, so I am hoping and praying for the approval of my abdominoplasty... otherwise it will have to be a peniculectomy (sp?)... Please keep your fingers crossed for me...
I would love to hear about U of M experiences if there are any.
Thanks

last week i had a consult with Dr. Chau in Berkley - anyone have any experiences with him? please advise.
thanks all!
I also used Dr DiNick. He did my TT and my BL/BA. He is a perfectionist and does a fabulous job. He also got my insurance to pay for my panni removal.
Now - I see I'm a little late with this post, but know he (and probably others) schedule several months out. There are several things that need to be done beforehand. He only does consults on Saturdays and it can take 6 plus weeks to get in.

I've never heard of Dr. Van Pelt for PS in GR. Also not one of the major PS practices in the area that I know of. Have you looked into Dr. Andrew Livingston? He did my PS back in 2009 and has done others on OH that I'm aware of. I believe he works with a lot of WLS patients since he shares office space with Grand Health Partners.
Worth looking in. Also I found his prices to be lower than others in the area and his office is so helpful with everything you may need including insurance.
Happy New Year!
anyone familiar with Dr Van Pelt in Grand Rapids? Just wondering if there was any feedback out there that would be helpful.
thanks in advance for your response.
