Southampton Hospital?

Has anyone here used Dr. Allam in Riverhead and Southampton?  He works out of Southampton Hospital.

Hi Lisa, Here's a link you might want to check out... http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+t estimonials+Medhat+E+Allam+ktp.html It's Dr. Allam's OH page with member testimonials. You might want to PM some of those that have posted and ask about their experience most are very willing to share. Hope this helps, ~Michelle OH Member Services

P.S. I was born and raised on LI in Center Moriches. Best wishes on your journey.

Center Moriches is just 15 mintues from me.  Do you miss LI? BTW I have to know...where did the name Eggface come from???  LOL

I do miss it. It will always be my "home." I'll be there in a month or so. My best friend's family still lives there (Manorville) and I have relatives on the island too. Well the avatar (little picture) came first with a different name but I was always referred to as Eggface so I just embraced it. I even have a wls blog that follows my weight loss journey (link below) that I call: The world according to eggface.  So nice to meet someone from home. Best of luck in your journey. It was the best gift I ever gave myself. ~Michelle

I never heard of him.  Look into my surgeon - Dr. Shawn Garber on Long Island he is a center of excellence which is very important in choosing a surgeon.  he changed my life.  His website is www.stopobesityforlife.com

Thank you for recommending your surgeon.  I have heard he is great but Dr Allam has a really great reputation here on the East End of Long Island.  I know a few people who have used Dr. Allam as their surgeon recently and everything went well.  I was just curious is anyone here was a patient.

Some insurance companies require you to use a Bariatric Center of Excellence, so you need to check out your ins. co.'s requirements.

Good luck!
