Stomaphyx in Phoenix and needing info

Would love to hear from all who have had the Stomaphy.....  Special diet?  Price?  Amount you needed to lose?  .... I'm so excited to finally have something simple as a revision option!  I was not looking forward to another open to take out more of my intestine! Joyce in az who will be one of Dr. Schlesinger's First "fixes'!!!!  Yay!

I am currently looking into the StomaphyX also.  There is a doctor in Irvine, CA (I'm in San Diego, CA) which is only like 1 hour away.  I DONT HAVE TO TRAVEL!  I have HMO insurance and that surgeon is an in network.  I have not gone yet.  So I don't know the price.  I am very excited too!

The insurance companies are not covering this.

Some insurance companies are covering it

There is a surgeon in College Station TX that is going to be doing them.  He is a bariatric surgeon and also does bypass and Lapbands.  What an exciting option for those that so desperately need and want to be successful.  PM me and I will be glad to get you his onformation. 

His name is Dr. Mason and he's a physician at St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.  He performs Gastric Bypass and lap band surgeries.  He now lists Stomaphyx as a surgery revision for GBPS as well.

I had the surgery by Dr. Shawn Garber in NY about a week ago and lost 9 pounds already and feel like soon after the gastric bypass when I needed to remind myself to eat.  I am on a full liquid diet for a couple of weeks.  My surgeon charges $8800 for the entire procedure.

Hi!! This post is pretty old. I had gastric bypass in 2010 and looking into revision. How did it go for you?

Wow!  Congrats on your loss!  I sooooooooo want to be a LOSER again too!!!!  ....  I found out that Dr. Eric Schlesinger  (Phoenix) will be charging in that same ballpark.  He's running a "New Procedure Special"  with great pricing.  ....  I'm on the list!  Woooooo Hoooooo! Joyce in az
