Does anyone know what surgeons are part of NeWeigh?

Hi there, I believe Carlos A. Ferrari M.D. is associated with NeWeigh. You can do more research if you go to the top links and find "Local Help" then "Texas" then "Baratric Doctors or Hospitals" for other WLS Doctors in our Texas area.

Dr Carlos Ferrari (my doc), Dr Alanis, and Dr 'Jay'( a long foriegn name beginning with a J. I don't know about the other docs, but Dr. Ferrari has his own practice - you can see him directly or through NeWeigh.

Carlos Ferrari, Alanis, Jaykumur are the only three that I am aware of out the Houston office. I absolutely loved Dr Ferrari, I had lap rny on 11/12/2002 and have lost about 45lbs. I have lost more inches than weight but am satisfied though sometimes frustrated at the plateau I am on, but since I started at a smaller weight than others, could be reason I am not losing as fast as others. I have friends who went thru jaykumar and have lost over 100lbs and they had open rny with him. Of course their surgery was btwn 1 yr and 7 months ago so they are further ahead. Good luck on your journey.

I had Dr. Alanis do my sugery on 11/25/02 - I just loved him. He really took the time to answer all my questions and when I had a slight problem in December and called, he got on the phone with me instead of relaying through the nurse. I was 333 going into surgery and am now down to 281.5 and I'm averaging about 8-11 lbs a week. Good luck.
