Question:
I'm disabled, obese, need surgery, on Medicare and live in Texas.

Who in Texas does this surgery and will accept Medicare?    — Constance J. (posted on March 2, 1999)

I have researched the Fobi pouch for my own information. It is my understanding that Dr. Fobi in CA is the only one who performs his particular version of the gastric bypass. I am getting ready to have a gastric bypass, and my surgeon has shown me the differences in the procedure he will perform and Dr. Fobi's. They are very similar, but Dr. Fobi's is slightly more radical. Hope this helps.

I just visited Dr. Srungaram. He does accept Medicare. He does the gastric by pass procedure. Wish me luck.
