Question:
If you had/have your surgery preformed by Paul Maguire in Kettering Ohio..

I have a few questions, 1. Does he require that you have a phsyc eval before your surgery? 2. does he use staples? 3. does he leave in the g-tube? 3. What surgery does he do? Please help my consult is Oct 27.    — Tennille (posted on September 21, 2000)

HI HOW IS IT GOING? I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING. DR MAGUIRE DOES REQUIRE A PHYSC EVAL BEFORE SURGERY. ALOT OF INS COMPANIES ALSO REQUIRE THEM. I WENT TO ONE ON THE LIST HE GIVES YOU AT HIS INFORMATION SEMINARS. HE HAS 4 ON HIS LIST. ALOT OF INS COMPANIES DO NOT PAY FOR THE PHYSC EVAL. IT RUNS AROUND $250.00. IT REALLY WASN'T BAD. WE TALKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN I TOOK A BIG TEST. THEN SHE EVALUATES THE ANSWERS AND SENDS THE RESULTS TO DR MAGUIRE. HOPE THAT HELPS SOME. I AM APROVED FOR MY SURGERY AND AM SCHEDULED FOR AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. WISH IT WAS SOONER, BUT MY SCHEDULE WON'T ALLOW FOR IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ANDY
