Anyone in the Cincinnati, Ohio area ...
Cindy - Would be happy to share info w/ you. I just had surgery two weeks ago w/ an excellent surgeon, Dr. Dwayne Smith @ St. Elizabeth South in Kentucky. Feel free to e-mail me any questions you have. There is also a support group on Friday @ Anderson Mercy. They have a website, www.imnotfatanymore.com, you should check it out.
Cindy there is no better way to get information than to attend support group meeting and we're having one tomorrow (friday) at Anderson Mercy Hospital on State Rd at 7pm. You are more than welcome to come and bring whoever you want. If this is not up your alley yet you can e-mail me ([email protected]) and I can tell you my story. Welcome to the journey of WLS.
Sorry about being so late to replay. I had trouble if you can believe it find this page again ... lol ... I feel stupid. Anyway thank you all for your replies. I look forward to talking with you all more about this.
Can I ask what hospital and Doctor you used?
What surgery you had?
What is insurance you use?
To start ... because I really am trying to research this all the way though.
Right now I have only the approval of my Primary Doctor, I have seen a surgeon his name is Dr. Moreira. Any information you can give would be great.
Hello, I rarely reply to anything. But I saw your post and just wanted to share some of the info I have gotten since I've been searching. I am getting the lap-banding done (surgery is not yet scheduled) the doctor I'm seeing is Tim Wheeler in Ky. He is the closest Dr to the tri-state that my insurance will cover. You can email me anytime for more info @ [email protected]
