No but Doctor Schumacher in Dayton is who I went to for my VSG!  I know a little further away than you are probably looking for but well worth the drive, he and is staff is great!

Check out Dr. Myers @ Fresh Start Bariatrics @ Riverside. He has been doing the sleeve for a little over a year and has had great result in his patients. He has seminars 3 times a month, 2 Tuesdays and one Saturday (2 seminars) each month. Good luck. Paula

We have done about 150 sleeves over the last 18 months, so we have lots of experience.  We also have a satellite office in Columbus, so that helps.

Unfortunately only BCBS of Michigan covers sleeve, and only for patients with a BMI over 50.
