Does Anyone Know About MUSC's New Program?

I know they just opened up a new center and was thinking of going there. Does anyone have any current info on them? If not, any good places with good Dr.'s near Charleston? I like MUSC's program because it entails all my insurance requirements, such as the nutritionist and Psych exam. Just wondering if anyone had experience with them.

I would think anything at MUSC would be top notch.

You have SC Obesity Ctr at lexington hosp. I'm getting banded 5/13. Went to seminar on 3/3, had psych eval from one of their top psychs on 3/20, had pre-op class on 4/1. I am self-pay but based on how I've been treated so far, I highly recommend them. Lexington hosp is right off 26 coming in from charleston.

Hi,
My friend and I were both banded on June 10.
We had a very satisfactory experience with MUSC and Dr. Byrne and staff. You can't get more top notch I don't think. We are both 1 week out and doing great so far.
We are 50plus too.

Hi I was banded in Conway SC. There was a good doctor there named Dr. David Anderson I here he is in Greenville now. I don't think he's doing band surgeries there but I heard he was doing fills. I found him on the internet and the number to his new office is Carolina Surgical Associates 864-233-4349. You can give him a call let me know if he is indeed doing the fills as I am considering changing doctors.

I don't know any of the Dr's in Greenville but my dr. Dr. Rowitz is in Anderson that is about 30 min from Greenville. I was just banded on June 24, 2008. If you would like more information please contact me.

My sister is strongly considering Dr. Byrne. I live in Ft. Worth and was banded last November 2007. I am so thankful I did. I've lost over 60lbs so far. Feeling more and more energetic. My sister and I both know that the quality and length of our lives depend on losing our weight. She is considering gastric bypass and LAP-BAND®.

Everything I have read about Dr. Byrne is impressive. She told me that he prefers gastric by-pass instead. Did he indicate this procedure was preferrable for you? And if so, why did you choose Lap-band®?

Any other thoughts about your experience would be so helpful.

Thanks.

I see Dr.K.Morgan at MUSC see is the best! They have sooooooo many support groups and classes you can take! My surgery is Sept 29 and it only took a month and half to get approval! Her staff is great. And if you want more info go to Bariatric Surgery Program all the info is there.

Re: Does Anyone Know About MUSC's New Program?

I am using MUSC for banding. My surgeon will be Dr. Baker, I have my first appt with her on 11/24/08. I have already been to the Nutrition class and psych eval. I am so ready for this. I was wondering if anyone has Tricare Standard. I know that they cover the band, just wondering how long for approval.
