Dr Gaerber does it and Dr Artuso in Westchester county does it. We went to a seminar for it and the insurance companies are only paying for it based on how severe you have dumping sundrome. Thats how Dr. Artuso explained it. You can email him on his web site through obesity help.com

Thanks, Shirley.  I almost used your Dr.; he was very nice and has a good reputation.   Good to know he's doing the procedure too.  (I see you mentioned that above; I just didn't notice.)  I did notice that the revision forum here on OH has some posters who have had it done.   Regarding Drs. Holover & Garber; they have a support group every 2nd Tues. of the month at Mercy hospital--from 6pm  to 7pm is for people considering banding or RNY, and I noticed last month there were a lot of people there asking the docs about the Stomphyx--if you're available next Tues, you might want to come by.  From 7 to 8 there are support groups for people who have had WLS--no, I'm  not trying to push these particular doctors, it just might be a convenient way for you to gather some info.   Good luck & keep us posted. Take care,
 Karen
