It is called Magee-Womens Hospital, but they treat men as well. They have an excellent bariatric surgery center.
No, I just entered a research study and my pre op requirements may be met through it. I have to wait until I find out which group I’m in for the study, then I will either do one on one coaching through the study, lifestyle classes or see my primary care doctor. It seems that I have “pre diabetes” so I’ve got to make some big changes soon. What info would you like about the classes? Here is a link with a list of the upcoming sessions. You may want to call to see if there are others that aren’t listed though. I don’t think the one I attended was on the website. The phone number for the office is 412-641-3632. When you fill out the initial assessment form, it will probably ask if you have a preference for a surgeon. Dr. Courcoulas is the chief of the program and will be doing my surgery.
