Hi Heather... Not sure how far Parma is from Cleveland. But I had my surgery at St. Vincent's Charity with Dr. Helmut Schreiber (Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery) He is one of the best in his field, infact he was inducted into the Medical Hall of Fame (something like that) last Fall. There website is http://www.stvincentbariatrics.com Wishing you all the best!! Tracy

Heather i would go to uh and see dr. stellito. he will at least talk to you and they have great support groups. st. vincents wouldent even talk to me because of my insurance or let me go to a support group , i think that was very rude because now i have differnt insurnace and it is covered but am sticking with dr stellato and his group

Heather, I had my surgery at Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery in Cleveland and they are wonderful. Dr. Ben-Meir did my surgery on September 24, 2003, I am down 85#'s and in a size 14. Want to lose another 30-40 to be at my goal weight. Everyone in the office has been great to work with. If you already have insurance approval that is a big part of the battle. I had a surgery date within a few days of insurance approval and had my surgery within a month! I went for my consult on August 8th had insurance approval on August 27th and had surgery September 24th! If you have any questions you can contact me at [email protected] Laura

Heather, There is a new surgeon in Cincinnati that is great his name is Trace Curry. Don't know how much of a drive that would be for you. Sandy Pierce [email protected] PS. Sometimes the drive is worth it. I drove an hour and a half for my surgery.
