Dr. Rupp is very good. That is why I'm going back to see him 12 years after having my very first band- gastric bypass surgery by him in 1997.
I am currently having problems keeping food down, I feel hungry all the time and when I eat food won't go all the way down into the stomach. I'm told that the stomach will regrow after time and the loose stomach may "flap" up over the hole that is open for food to enter into the stomach. That may be why I'm throwing up all the time. It's funny because its not really vomit, its simply the food that never quite made it through.
I've already talked with Mr Rupp, but I plan to talk with him again and review my options then schedule the surgery. This site is great! I can give you updates, and listen, advise about your concerns as well.

I stayed after my info seminar to talk to Dr Rupp abt my situation and my previous denial and my problem with my PCP and he listened and didn't rush and felt even though I was a lightweight that will all my co-morbidities I deserved the surgery. I saw him next for my pre-op and he took alot of time with me to answer all my questions. The next time was right before surgery and he has such a good energy I wasn't nervous at all. I saw him out of recovery and he gave me some additional meds for the pain in my side and he the gave me the ok to leave the next day. Being I had gone through a different surgery center with my previous attempt, I must tell you, his requirements are so much thorough and I learned so much more that I am unsure I would have been successful before! He's great! Posted on 11/19/2008 |

I was impressed with Dr. Rupp from the first time I heard him speak. After meeting with him I knew I was in great hands. He and all his staff were so wonderful to work with and he really cares about his patients. I look forward to my post-op appointments.
This is a top notch surgery center for bariatric surgery and I would recommend Dr. Rupp to anyone. Posted on 07/01/2008 |

My first impression of Dr. Rupp was at the pre-op seminar. I liked his manner, but mostly I was impressed with his knowledge. I felt confidence in him. Over time, I felt my impression was confirmed.
Dr. Rupp's office staff has been very helpful and accessible. They answer emails promptly and are willing to go the extra mile.
Dr. Rupp definitely emphasizes aftercare. He is very careful to make sure we are doing well. His staff is available for questions and concerns. He has support groups and schedules regular appointments for full blood panel workups. We make a lifetime commitment to keep following up with his office.
He spent as much time with me as I wanted to discuss the surgery, its risks, and all my questions. He never gave me the impression that he was in a hurry.... [Click here for more] I felt very comfortable with him.
Overall, I rate him highly. I have utmost respect and confidence in him.
I felt that his surgical confidence was number one. In the hospital, he was mostly business, but in his office, he was attentive, not rushed, and very thorough with my questions and concerns.

The only issue I had with Dr. Rupp is that I was put under about 2 hours prior to my actual surgery. I spent most of the first two days in the hospital sleeping off the anesthesia. I was told that it was a miscommunication.
The rest of my experience so far has been good. Posted on 12/22/2007 |

Dr. Rupp is no non sense type of guy and calls them as he see's them. He's straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. He'll tell you things you might not rather hear but everything he tells you I believe comes from his heart.
He did both my VBG and revision to the RNY. Rupp's office staff are very good at what they do and are always there to answer any questions.
I had the first procedure at St. Joes and the second at United. Posted on 08/14/2007 |

My first impression of Dr. Rupp was that he was very intelligent and very kind to all of his patients.
His office staff was wonderful to me. I had a hard time getting insurance ok, but his staff worked extra hard and got the ok.
He really emphasized aftercare. I live out of state now, but I go to monthly meetings in Springfield, MO. They are very important after surgery. You can learn a lot.
He addresses the risk of surgery as does any Dr., that it can be risky, but that he has not had any problems.
I believe he is very competent in his surgical skills as well as his bedside manner. He was very nice to me every time I saw him. Posted on 04/23/2007 |

Dr.Rupp is a great surgeon. He is very thourgh when it comes to patient care. I had many medical problems and a sister who had the surgery with many complications and he took the time to do testing before surgery. He said he wanted to be safe then for me to have to go thru addition surgerys. I was frustrated at first because of the time it took but I know it was for the best. I would recommed him highly.
