A question from a fellow OH person

Hello All, I am Pug Mom from the North Carolina board , the reason I am writing is I have a question to ask of you all . Who is the local surgeron in the Charleston area most of you use, did you have a good experence with them ? My former sister in law is considering the lap RNY , she is 60 years old . Thanks BTW --- I am a former WV person , from the small town of Marmet

Hi! I used Dr. Daniel Stickler in Charleston. (888-256-7398) He is great and has a good educational component to his program as well as a good follow-up program. I don't know your SIL's financial/insurance situation, but I can tell you that Dr. Stickler is not a provider for Medicare or Medicaid. There is also Dr. Robert Shin in the Charleston area. Sorry, no phone number handy for him... He and Dr. Stickler used to be together, but now Dr. Shin runs the weight loss center at Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) at the Women's & Children's location in downtown Charleston. Dr. Stickler does his surgeries in the same place, but these two docs have seperate offices at different locations... Go to http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeons+in+west+virginia.html and you can see the info for the WV surgeons who are registered with the OH site... Hugs, Lea
