Topic: RE: Would you recommend your surgeon in Cleveland?

I would!  I was a band to sleeve revision..had my band 10 years.  My surgery went off without a hitch, hospital stay was great. 

His name is Dr. Craig Eyman.  He does surgery out of Parma Hosp and I think has offices on the East side as well.

It was a good experience.

Topic: Anyone go to Mexico for their surgery?
Between the insurance stalling and requirements being met, now the Dr that I was completing the required 6 mos. weight lose diet plan with since January just announced he wasn't renewing his contract with the hospital....so I am once again left in the cold. I am beginning to think I am not supposed to have the VSG. Investigating other options I heard of procedures being done in Mexico. Would like to hear from anyone with personal experience leaving the country, the good, bad and ugly.... Thanks so much in advance!!!

Topic: Creating Columbus Support group. Need help!

Ok, I've had a few people private message me about how they agree that Columbus does need a support group not affiliated with a hospital.  I want to set it up on meetup.com, so its not officially affiliated with OH.  I'm looking for a few people who would like to help me manage this.  Ideas, plan/go to meetings etc.  I have no problem being the person to pull the trigger, but I don't want to do it all.  I have a feeling this could get rather big, and if it does I'd like to have events fairly frequently.   

Also, I'm looking for ideas on a name for it.  Any suggestions??

Topic: RE: Does anyone have knowledge/review/opinion of Mt. Carmel's surgeions/program (Columbus)?

We went to the informational seminar at Mt Carmel, and Dr. Choban did the meeting.  They seemed like a very good group, the only problem is, is that they wanted 300.00 out of pocket for processing insurance papers and another 200.00 for nutritional services that are not covered under insurance but have to be paid out of pocket.  Since my husband and I are both having the surgery that would be 1000.00 and we just couldn't afford that.  We are having our surgery in Dayton,Oh.

Topic: Does anyone have knowledge/review/opinion of Mt. Carmel's surgeions/program (Columbus)?

Hello everyone,

Due to several issues I've had with Fresh Start Bariatrics at Riverside, I'm considering switching to the program at Mt. Carmel. I've finished all the requirements at Riverside and I'm now at the point where my info is ready to be submitted to insurance.

Does anyone have experience with the surgeons at Mt. Carmel (Price, Choban, Miller)? Is the office staff friendly, attentive, responsive? What was your hospital stay like? Are the aftercare classes worthwhile?  Any info you can provide is much appreciated as I make this decision.

THANK YOU!
