If anyone here is from stl or had their sleeve done here who was your doctor and how was your experience???

Dr. Scott at Des Peres. Loved him and his entire staff. Had a great experience. Not a single complication and a fast recovery.

4 1/2 months post-op. HW 253,

SW 240, CW 177. 37 more pounds to goal.

Started the program at Mercy. Made it all the way to insurance approval. Lost confidence in the Doctor and the Mercy staff. The day before my surgery, I contacted Des Peres Hospital and transferred my medical records. Within three weeks I had my appt to meet the dr, pre-op and surgery. Changing physicians and hospitals was the best decision ever. I am very satisfied with Dr. Scott, his staff and the whole My New Self program.

I've heard about Dr. Scott a friend of mine had him, said he was very pleased and lost a lot too! I'm currently seeing Dr. Wheeler at DePaul Ssm weight loss institute I've had a good experience with him so far. I had my last appointment of the 6 month wait on 1/7/16 so I'm just waiting for submission and approval! Only problem is on my first initial appointment they recorded my weight wrong, they had me weighing about 35 lbs less then I actually did so it looks like I gained 35lbs in 6 weeks on paper! My insurance advocate said it won't be an issue but I think it will because my in my policy it says no net weight gain so now I'm just hoping and praying everything works in my favor and fast too because I'm ready to start this journey!!

I had my surgery at DesPeres. The hospital staff is really supportive. Some of the nurses have had surgery so they understand. I was in the hospital about 26 hours. No complications, great recovery. I recommend MyNewSelf, if you want a fast smooth process.

I initially called them for a consultation but they didn't take my insurance then pcp referred me to DePaul and I think Des Peres is Ssm too but I don't no why they didn't accept my insurance..
