Lehigh Valley Anyone???



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site and I have had my first consultation with Dr. Piotrowski and I was NOT impressed. Not to mention I am discouraged by the 6 month program. Is there anyone else out there that feels the same way and has any solutions to not having to wait without traveling to another country or a long distant state??? Any doctors in the valley???

Thanks! :confused2:

i live in va and there a a few different dr's offices and practices that do the weight loss surgery. you should look around and find another practice. my program only takes about 3 months depending on your medical conditions. do an online search too! good luck!!

It all depends on your insurance. Call the 1-800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask if procedure 43770 is covered and then ask them to mail you a copy of requirements for coverage. It will spell it all out there. If your insurance requires the six month diet, there's no way around it other than to pay out of pocket.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
