Best MN Surgeon for Revision?
I'm trying to help a friend research surgeon and revision surgery in MN. She is bi-polar and has had a lot of trouble with getting her meds under control and it seems that a big part of the problem is possibly the mal-absorption of the meds. So we're thinking she maybe would be best to be revised to the sleeve. At least if she could have a consult with a good surgeon and point her in a better direction! I don't think the surgeon who did her original surgery has been any help at all. Thanks!
Look up on the bar above your post. Click on Find a Surgeon than click on MN and look for Revision surgeons. Call some in your area and see if they do what her surgery is to Sleeve. Find out how many and if they are patients that wouldn't mind talking to you. Also you can look on the VSG boards they are lots of Revisions there and ask this question. Sorry I can't be more help as I am from MI
