Midwest Bariatrics Center Neenah

I researched bariatric surgery since 1991 - all different options, different states.. I felt my best option for success was MWB and Dr Georgen and his team.  Since my surgery, October 2006 - I have lost over 200 pounds - do to the incredible efforts of the team approach that MWB offers. 

The only "complication" that I had was some scar tissue that was forming over the opening of my stomach, when I went in for an appointment, they knew immediately what was wrong and it was taken care of right away - with no other issues.

One of the reasons that I went with MWB was they offer a well rounded approach to helping each patient to succeed - not only with their office staff, but also offer the group support meetings that help you focus on your goals

I personally feel that Dr Georgen and his amazing team of angels (including the group support leaders) saved my life.

Another question: why do you think that MBS and the Dr's don't register on this site?  I wish they would update their website as well.  Just my thoughts though. :)




....No it's not. We've directly and indirectly been pushing for updated website for quite a while now. It is happening, slowly yet surely. There have been some changes, I believe that have taken that should make things more current.

We'll keep prodding.

As for the first part of your question, I don't know. But I  am sure someone, somehow will get word of this over there.

Congrats on prodding forth with MBS.  Whatever the higher power can't assist you with, you have just gained a world of post bariatric friends that can. Support groups, follow ups with MD's, and folllowing the 5 guidelines to success are cucial.

In the meantime, to be nervous is normal.

Yah, I'm such a comfort.   :-)

Hi Jill, did you get the green light from the insurance company? 

Good Luck....I just met with Elieen myself.....Im farther ahead in the process than I thought.....I just need my psych eval which is schedule for WED and the rest of the paperwork from my primary.....and also should be ready to proceed with WPS.  Then the wait....urhgggg.

WPS only has a 3 week wait for approval. At least that is something! :)

The psych eval isn't bad. Good luck!
