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.
