Question:
Need comments on Lap RNY's Surgeon's in MICHIGAN please

I'm a young mom of 5 who has some serious stretch marks AND whose skin does NOT heal very well. Therefore my pcp told me to consider a lap instead of an open rny. I need some surgeon input please and thank you in advance:)    — E M. (posted on September 17, 2002)

Hi there! I can recommend one...I personally went with Dr. Baker in Grand Rapids, and had an overall good experience with the lap surgery. Email me if you wish and I can give you contact info for them if you need it. Good luck to you!

Possible the best lap surgeon for the rny procedure is Dr. Mark Kligman in Toledo Ohio ( Only A Few miles from the Michigan border). I drove 3 hours each way and have absolutely no regrets. He may not be the closest but I believe he is the best. Good luck Michael A. Zullo

I am getting lap RNY done at Mt Clemens General Hospital, with Dr Hanks. I know that a Dr Krause at Beaumont-Royal Oak Hospital also does the lap RNY.

Dr. Scholten in Grand Rapids does the RNY laproscopically. I had my consultation with him last week and he and his staff are very thorough, knowledgable, and personable. The only problem is that there is a high demand for him and a long wait. Good Luck!
