Jumping into the plastics pool- any recomondations for surgeons in the Joplin, Mo. Area?
I'm at the point where researching surgeons is necessary. I'm in SEKansas and want to stay asclose to home as possible. Any recomondations or information would be much appreciated. I've located one surgeon, D. Sherrod in Joplin. Thanks for the feedback. Bonnie

Look for a PS with experience with massive weight loss patients. I needed everything done and didn't want to have to stage my surgeries, so I went with Dr Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico. Medical tourism isn't for everyone, but if you are interested, we have a group here on OH. Click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line.
