He was the first surgeon I got a referral to... I ended up not going to him because I didn't think he performed the DS (it turns out he does, but open). Also, I wanted a laparoscopic surgery and found out about Dr. Gagner/Mt. Sinai and he was on my plan (Oxford Freedom). There are some others on the list who have had surgery with Dr. Macura and can provide experience, support, etc. He also has a support group, I believe. all the best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
