Dr G from Abington Memorial Hospital

Has anyone has DS with Dr G at Abington Memorial Hospital. 

Dr. G is my surgeon, but I had RNY.  I've met a lot of his DS patients at our monthly support group and most seem very happy with their results.

I am coming to the upcoming support group on the 21st.  I am hoping to meet some new friends there as well. 

Thanks,

I usually sit front row center (no idea why) so I shouldn't be hard to find.  Paula or Ann should be able to point me out to you.

 Hello, I had my DS with Dr. B at Abington and am doing great.  I did see Dr. G while I was in the hospital though and he seemed nice enough, but he didn't do my actual surgery.  I think he may be new to the DS, but don't quote me on that.  Previously I believe Dr. B did all the DS's at thier practice.   So far I haven't seen anyone over on the DS board that has had Dr. G either.  I would discuss that with him and see what his experience is with it.  Even if he is new to it, everyone has to start somwhere and if he has a good track record with the RNY and other surgeries, I am sure he will be fine wit the DS.  Good Luck with your journey and stop by the DS board if you ever need any more DS specific help!

I am also a Ds Patient of Dr.B and i have heard alot about Dr.G and understand he is very nice on the eyes too!  I am going to try and make it to the next meeting,It so hard on me having to be up at 4am and the meeting being in abington,Little far for me ,but i wil try,Look fowrad to meeting everyone new to the board! Hugs trish

He's very easy on the eyes and his lovely accent makes him a delight to listen to.  He has trained extensively on DS and from what I understand has been doing them for about a year.  This procedure was a consideration for me because of my diabetes, but after a lengthy discussion we decided RNY was the way for me to go, especially since my insurance probably wouldn't have covered it.
