Rudi~ Hello! Tell your friend to search online for West Virginia School of Medicine Bariatric Surgeons. There are three doctors. Dr. Longhi does LapBand. The other two do gastric bypass. Your friend will need to call the number on the website and make an appointment to go to the free seminar. This is required. I just went last week. I'm not sure when the next one will be. Good luck!

I do not know the name of the third but Dr. Stephen McNatt handles the more routine cases and Dr. Charles Golden takes on the riskier cases. Their coordinator is Mary Anne Yanosik. Dr. McNatt did both mine and my wife's six weeks apart. We could not be happier with the results and with the skill of Dr. McNatt and the professionalism at the hopsital. Both of our were laps. I have lost 126 pounds so far and 14 inches around my middle and my wife is down 106 pounds. We are truly blessed to have had this surgery. It has given us our lives back. If you want to get more details, E-mail at [email protected]. Curt

Curt, Can you give me the names of the 3 Doctors at Ruby Hospital who do Gastric Bypass. Do they do it Lap or Open? She is only intersted in a Doctor who can do it Lap. Obesity Help doesn't show any Doctors on their website for that area. If you could respond soon it would help. She is planning on driving down to Washington DC area. Thanks Rudi Smith
