Topic: Anyone in the Raleigh/Durham Area?
Hi,
I will be moving to NC in the near future and need to hook up with other MGBers. I have sent an email to the local MGB office, but haven't heard anything back.

Topic: RE: MGB in Mexico
Hi,
I can't answer your question about finances, but I'm curious as to whether or not it is the TRUE MGB being performed in Mexico. It is my understanding that the only surgeons doing the Mini Gastric Bypass are those trained by Dr. Robert Rutledge in Las Vegas. He does the surgery there, and the surgeons who trained under him on this procedure are in Michigan, Florida, and Texas. I had this surgery and have lost over 200 pounds since July, 2004. CLOS.net explains this procedure. I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

Thanks so much.

Hello, Have been researching surgery for a while, and just came across MGB.. was considering going to Mexico to have the procedure (obviously for the cost) and am curious if there is a location doing the MGB to help with the out of pocket... Any help would be appreciated!

Topic: RE: Who does this surgery and where?
I'm curious as to why a doctor wouldn't accept insurance. That in itself is causing me to be alarmed.

But I have heard it is important to start Folic Acid ASAP I know our bodies absorb it differently now and its harder to get enough. I worked in an OB office for a while and know its importance in babies devolpment
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW FOUND LOVE, YOUR NEW BODY AND YOUR NEW FAMILY. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS BEEN A GREAT YEAR FOR YOU.

ps. also be advised if your insurance company excludes this and you 'self' pay and have complications they will NOT pay for any medical bills...

You need to contact your insurance company directly; MOST insurance companies such as Aetna and BCBS DO NOT cover this proceedure.

Topic: Need imput - Pregancy after 7.5 months
Hey all, So much has happened so fast in the last few months, I met the man of my dreams (actually ran into him again after 20 years) got married, and now just found out im pregnant. Im going to go to the gastro doctor on Tuesday and my GYN also but I can't wait until then to get some input.
Has anyone had any experience in this area? what changes do i need to make? concerns i should have? anything i can do to ensure a proper pregnancy to term? Any advice or suggestions I would love to hear. My husband and I are soooo excited because we both thought we were going to have problems do to other medical stuff, so this is truly a miracle and something we both really wanted. Although, we did plan on waiting at least a year... But, G-d works in mysterious ways 
Ahhhhh.... Im sooo happy
Thanks
Shayy
