He is awesome, he doesn't have a website because it is frowned upon in Brazil to advertise medical services, however, look up his yahoo group and you will find many happy post-ops as well as contact and general information. 

If you would like to PM feel free and I will share my experience (which has been a good one)!

He is considered to be one of the finest DS surgeons in the world. He no longer has a web site because of legal concerns. I'm not sure it it's just illegal for physicians in Brazil to advertise that way, or what.. There is a Yahoo group for his patients though,  http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/DrMarchesini-DS/

If my insurance had not come through to pay for my DS with Dr. Smith in GA, I would have gone to Dr. Marchesini.

Thanks for everyone's help!!

My insurance will only cover for services rendered in the state of Alaska, and no one here offers the DS.... and I'm not willing to settle for a RNY or LapBand..

Again thank you, and I'll look in to that yahoo group!!

Here's a link to the yahoo group: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/DrMarchesini-DS/

Dr. Marchesini was my surgeon also.  I did a lot of research on him before I contacted him. 

He orignally studied thoracic surgery at Cambridge in England.

He was the Chief Resident at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School here in the US.

He is a member of the ASMBS.

He is a member of the International Bariatric Society (not sure of the exact name)

He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. F.A.C.S.

He is an awesome human being and I would trust him to operate on any one I loved.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me also.

Lacey,
I have been in touch with Dr. Marchesini within the past two weeks.  His new email address is [email protected].  If you contact him via email he will get back to you within a day or two.  He seems very approachable and very willing to answer any questions including those about cost.
