I am currently waiting to see Dr. Gagne for the start of my journey and was wondering if anyone has had him do their surgery? I have spent the last 7 years debating RNY and have finally decided, now's the time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Trish  

Hi Trish,
I live on the other end ofthe state.  When I was researching my RNY, I learned about my surgeon on Obesity Help, at support groups at the hospital I was going to, and here.  If you don't get any help here on the PA forum, try the OH page with surgeons information, and attend a couple support groups at the hospital you'll be going to.  

Good luck, and welcome to the PA forum.

Thanks so much, Trish! I appreciate the help.

I have an appointment with Dr. Gagne on June 27th. I am also curious as to whom else has used him for their WLS. So far, his office staff has been nice and I have read some reviews on him. All I've read has been positive, so let's hope we made the right choice with his office!

That's great! My appointment isn't until July 18th. So, if you don't mind updating me when you go, that would be greatly appreciated. My SO had his done about 7 years ago, but Dr. Colella did his and he is no longer in PA to my knowledge. So, I have to go with someone I don't know. I have also read the reviews and everyone was very positive, so I think we made the right choice! Good luck!

 I have not used Dr Gagne but I have friends that did...if you would like you can PM me and I can giv eyou our facebook info to our Pittsburgh wls group.  that way you can talk to them about him.

 oh and you hubbies surgeon now works out of Magee...thats where I had mine done.

Sounds like a plan!

Cherylkas..may I PM you as well about the Facebook Page?

 of course...

Dr. Colella has offices in Seven Fields and at St Margarets.   I saw him in Seven Fields and my next appointment will be at St Margarets.
