OT: SIze Friendly Doctors - Cleveland, Ohio
I am relocating back to the Cleveland area, around Parma and i am seeking a size friendly Doctor, a General Doctor who has experience with patients in the 300+ range of weigth. I have a Lap band but I am seeking a revision, so I am hoping they are pro weight loss surgery as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I used to go to State Road Family Practice in North Royalton, to the senior Dr. Frantz. (His son is also a GP in this practice)
I'm not sure I would go as far as to call him 'fat friendly', but when I saw him for minor things I was never abused/berated by him or his staff at 450+ lbs.
I also saw him pre-DS and he agreed to help me with post surgery follow-ups, since I was having my surgery out of the country. Based on that and the fact they are associated with one of the hospital RNY programs, I would say he's reasonably pro-WLS.
