I went to the website, but didn't see anything that said where there dr's are.  I'm in Middle Tn (Nashville area).  Any help?

Google Nashville bariatric surgeons, make some calls and ask some questions

Hi,

Here is the link you need for contact information about the MGB.

They can direct you to someone.


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Hey, I'm in Nashville too!  I found out about the MGB from a co-worker that had it done and she was thrilled.  I have been looking into gastric bypass surgery for a long time, but the RNY just seemed so drastic.  When I heard about the MGB, I knew it was the right surgery for me.  Here's the thing, Dr. Rutledge (see www.clos.net) invented the surgery.  He is in Las Vegas.  That's where my friend went.  There is another surgeon Dr. Rutledge trained located in Orlando and they work together.  My understanding is that these are the ONLY doctors doing the surgery in the USA.  I think its a patient issue.  Anyway, insurance won't cover the procedure because is it relatively new and I didn't have the 17k to get it done.  Well, one day I thought "What about out of country surgery" and looked into it.  It turns out that there are LOTS of surgeons doing the MGB in other countries.  The cost is a lot less (7k to 13k).  So, that's where I'm at with it.  I am in the process of scheduling my surgery now.
