Hi Sam,
I had stomach stapling in 1983 and I am talking to a Dr. Husted in Nashville and he knows his stuff I went to a DR Bell in Columbia and he would not touch me altho he did my sisters surgery, so I knew he was a good dr but he is really not up on things, I am wanting the BDDS my dr does both they really carefor there patients here but I am having a time trying to get my ins approved I got turned down I have BCBS PPO, so please pray for me. The reason I am writing this is to let you know even if they will not do you there you can get it done and done wright, is DR Stickland in with Bell and are they from Lexington Ky, I am pretty sure this is where I came and payed a 150.00 for him to turn me down which he could have told me on the phone because he had all of my papers all he had to do was tell me but my husband took a day off work we drove down there got a motel and payed him that to say he would not do it, sorry but they really upset me down there, but good luck to you.
