StrugglinginMI

Hi everyone, I am considering gastric bypass surgery and have narrowed the surgeon selection to Dr Kevin Krause affiliated with Beaumont Royal Oak Michigan and Dr John Pilcher affiliated with Sage Bariatric in Texas. would really appreciate if those who have had their surgery done by either of these doctors provide input on their experience and if they would recommend the doctors and their teams. Working on making the best decision so looking forward to hearing from some of you.

Thank you all for your help! I apologize for not getting back to you sooner - been crazy month. All great advice that I hope to incorporate in my search. M5 - Dr. Kevin Krause is one of the two doctors that I was leaning towards so glad to see that you are recommending him. Would love to IM you and understand your journey and the process with Dr. Krause and his team. Thanks again!

Hi everyone I'm new to bariatric pal. I am actually new to forums period. Never joined one but was hoping to get some help with those who have done the sleeve surgery done in southeastern MI. I am currently researching different programs in hospitals in SE MI and am struggling with settling on one. The few individuals who I know have gotten the sleeve surgery have done so in Mexico, which is not an option for me. And one individual had it done at St. Mary's in Livonia, MI put developed complications and she's really struggling. So far I have started the process at UofM Ann Arbor and to be honest with you, I was not that impressed, especially with the scheduling problems that I have encountered that have set this process back a few months more than it should. I am now looking into Beaumont Royal Oak and Troy - 2 doctors jumped out at me but again there's very little in terms of reviews out there from their patients. So would really appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks everyone! Struggling in MI
