Gastric Bypass Surgeons in VA. Help!
I am looking at different surgeons who do Gastric Bypass in Virginia. I live in Charlottesville and am hoping to stay in state if possible. The surgeon who I have my consult scheduled with has only done a little over 100 Gastric Bypass surgeries and after hearing that it is a low number I am looking for someone else. If there is a better place to ask please let me know. I am looking for reports both good and bad of surgeons in the area.
I am self pay so if you were self pay if you could tell me what your surgeon required and if you are happy or not happy with the surgeon that would be great. There are just so many and I am very hard of hearing. I am trying to find a list of surgeons in and around the area, what they charge, reviews and their self pay price but am not finding that.
Thanks in advance!

HI, you have one of the most highly regarded doctors in the state for this surgery right in your backyard, Dr. Bruce Schirmer at UVA. H e has done thousands of these surgeries and travels to foreign countries to donate his services to the underpriveleged. UVA is a teaching hospital and I found it to be top notch. The number is 1-800-251-3627. Good luck in your journey, Pam

Kimberly,
There is a bariatric surgery center in Roanoke, VA. They have several surgeons who have performed hundreds and hundreds of bariatric surgeries.
The surgeon I've chosen is Dr. Dort. He has an excellent track record. I've interviewed many of his patients and there have been no major complications reported from any of them. His medical history is also excellent - no reported malpractice in VA.
The surgery center is owned by Carilion and you can find more information about them online.
Best of luck to you.
Dr. Trahan is with Martha Jefferson Hospital and did my Gastric Bypass he and his staff are wonderful and I highly recommend him. Good luck on your journey :)
