Frankie- Barillo is "known for" being on the high end... .I think mainly because of his location. I live in Powell, work in Cody but still chose to go with Dr. Lewis. He has a wonderful easy going personality which makes for really easy communication. Both of his nurses Judy (3 years out from RNY) and Donna are fabulous! They are always available by phone, email, whatever.  Dr. Lewis and Donna have helped get a support group going in the Cody area which shows how commited he is to the aftercare of his patients...and others... anyone can attend, not just HIS patients. To me that speaks volumes for his character. I am doing the band vs. RNY so I'm not sure what he charges for RNY. You might ask Lenette she is having RNY tomorrow, right before my band.  Feel free to message me or post here, and I will do what I can to help... oh and both Dr Lewis's clinic as well as RMH take Care Credit.... you might check them out for financing.  www.carecredit.com Jamie

Hi Kenya,  I'm usually there during the day. Right now I've been working out about 3 times a week with hubby, but I'd love to get there almost daily and at least do some cardio.  I'm presently job hunting so who knows what my schedule will be if I find work.  When are you usually working out? Sharon

Hi, That seems very high for the surgery, but then it depends on your condition. I had laporoscopic rny in nj, and it ran $25,000.00. My insurance paid all but $1500.  It may be cheaper to travel a little as long as it is to a great surgeon.  Best of luck.  Sharon

Tomorrow is the day.... appts today then surgery tomorrow..... TOMORROW!!! Jamie

We are going to WalMart tonight, so I am going to look there. It sounds like a good atlernative, I am getting bored with the things I am drinking and it is only 5 days out.  I am also wanting to find a support group, but it sounds like I am going to have to start one here in Gillette. I don't even know where to start. Do you happen to know of any support groups close to me? THanks, Dottie
