Question:
I will be having the RNY Gastric Bypass done in Louisianna, I live in Texas and am in

need of a follow up care physician. I am not sure what kind of Physician to look for, or how to find out who is familiar with this procedure. Any suggestions would be GREAT!! Thanks!    — Cassy H. (posted on March 27, 2002)

Where are you in Texas? Check the doctors board here and see what surgeons are listed in your area and see if they are willing to do follow-up care for you.

Cassy, I live just down the road from you in Rhome. My PCP is in Ft Worth, but there is a very good PCP in Decatur that a couple of my friends who are post-op go to. Her name is Jana Irwin, MD. I am a nurse and have heard only great things about Dr. Irwin. Feel free to email me with any questions or local support.
