Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Surgeon Review Hi again. I was just interested from all the members that have had surgery or are going to have surgery where you are from and what surgeon and hospital you used. I am from Manhattan and i used Dr. DeCsepel at St Vincents Hospital. He is a great surgeon who is the head of laproscopic surgery at St.Vincents. Assisting him was also a top surgeon Dr. Nick Gabriel. I highly recommend both if you are looking for a surgeon in Manhattan.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | My surgeon was Victor Stelmack and the hospital was Barix Clinics in Groveport, OH. He's the greatest in my opinion, but unfortunately he's no longer there. He moved away and I don't know where yet. But my pcp has agreed to do all my bloodwork and will refer me to the bariactric surgery center at King's Daughter's Hospital in Ashland, KY for any other follow-up she may think I need. They are great there too.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | My surgeon is Dr. Fred Tiesinga. He is located in Oak Park, Illinois (outside of Chicago). He was highly recommended and for that I travelled 4 1/2 hrs to see him.

| Whipper Snapper  | If insurance issues don't force me to change at the last minute, I'll be having surgery at the Barix Clinic in Wylie, TX, just outside of Dallas, by Dr. David Hall. He's been doing this surgery exclusively for 20 years and is one of the nation's leading bariatric surgeons. He came highly recommended and added to that is the convenience of living only 30 minutes from the hospital. Praying that I don't have to change horses in the middle of the stream! Deb

Height: | I had my surgery performed by Dr. Wernsing at the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. I have been really impressed with him and he has a very good sense of humor which is important to me when it comes to doctors. I actually just found out today that one of my friends from church just got assigned the same surgeon and I am really excited for her. Janae |
