Relocating to Hattiesburg, MS

Hi my name is Christy and my husband and I will be relocating to Hattiesburg, MS in Jan.  I had RNY done by Dr. Kenneth Mitchell of Feb 15, 2007.   I have had no problems, don't get sick, only thing is I need is a new Bariatric Surgeon for yearly check ups of if for some reason something rarely goes wrong.  My blood work comes back perfect and I take my vitamins like I'm suppose to.  I have been successful in loosing 184 lbs, gone from a 24/26 to a 2/4, I use t weigh 308 lbs.  If you have anyone that you like to recommend, word of mouth goes along way and I would appreciate any help.  Dr. Whitehead sounded good...
Thanks so much,
Christy

Congratulations on your amazing success. You look incredible. Please PM me if there is anything that I can assist you with your move to Hattiesburg. My doctor is Dr. Avara and I know that he accepts transfer patients, but he is located in Ocean Springs. I have also heard good things about Dr. Whitehead, but I didn't go to him because I got the band. Good luck with your move.

So Dr. Whitehead only takes pts that had Gastric Bypass and not ones with the Lap Band?  Seems like they wouldn't care.  Thanks so much for the info it was greatly appreciated. 

Dr Whitehead is retired.  I think that Wesley Medical is doing biatric surgery starting this year.  Might want to check there.

I have not have the surgery yet, waiting on the Insurance.  Hope you will attend the meeting at the end of the month, would love to hear your advice and story.  Welcome to Hattiesburg and congratulations on your weight loss, 

Thanks, insurance can be a headache but worth it in the end.  Just stay on them and I hope all works out. 

Dr. Girod and his partners at Wesley perform bariatric surgery. At this point I think he only performs the Lapband but will see other patients. He also is over Eden Spa and has done some amazing work with his laser lipo that he offers. Go to www.Wesley.com to find more info about his bariatric program. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
