Has anyone used Dr. Frantzides in Skokie, IL for VSG? Results, opinions?

Thanks.

Uh oh, CavyGuy. Did you change your mind about Mexicali?

Nah, just doing my due diligence. I"ve already scheduled with Nina.:thumbup:

I know this is an old post but I wanted to update the info out there.

While Dr F will do a VSG, he is not comfortable with it as a WLS, prefers RnY and GB. He also uses 60FR bougies - way too big IMO. According to his stats on OH as of today 4/28/12 he's only done 9 VSG surgeries. Why use him when you can use someone with more experience, who can give you a tighter sleeve, and who believes in the surgery as a WL tool. Dr. F thinks it's too new and in his experience, it doesn't work.

And he's way, way expensive. Mexicali probably cost about 1/4 of what you would of paid had you had it done with Dr F.

CavyGuy - are you able to give me some information? I used google and this site came up. You have esophageal dysmotilty just like me. How did you do with your sleeve?
