Question:
Post op patients with BMI 50 higher for Dr. Burrowes Atlanta

I really need to hear from Dr. Celio Burrowes patients that had bmi over 50? I am considering him for my surgery and want to know what to expect as far as his creditials and experience with patients my size. Thanks, Vesta    — vesta D. (posted on December 4, 2002)

Hi Vesta, I noticed your question here a few times. Ok now, I'm not in Atlanta, but if you look at the top and click on Local help, go to GA and find Dr. Burrowes name, there it will show a list of others who've been his patients and what they had to say about him. And since it also has some of the patients name, you can also check out their profiles to see if they are close to your BMI or stats. The ones that are, maybe you could send an e-mail to them, since your post was here more than once, maybe others that have seen him have not been to the Q & A page. This is what I did when I checked out my state for surgeons, hope it helps. Vi

Hey Vesta, I'm not post op I'm pre-op surgery date is Jan 17(Fobi pouch), but my BMI is 72. I did a lot of research before I choose Dr. Burrowes got his name from Dr. Fobi's office in California. Dr. Burrowes was the choice for me, most physicians will not operate on someone who's BMI is higher than 50 and if they do they try to charge an outrageous fee. It took me 2 months to get an appointment with him, took my friend 3. So you might want to make an appointment while you are still researching you can always cancel later.
