SIPS: The New Kid on the Bariatric Block

[CherylWRN]

I am so glad to have found this group informed people. As a RN, I usually saw patients that didn't even know their doctor's name or procedure, much less the details. I love how you know the difference between each technique and doctor. You rock!

I can't understand how these surgeons are billing for SADi, it is experimental so it is not covered. I fear they bill for DS and patient is rolled out with SADI, that's fraud.

Howdy . So glad to start seeing word from some folks who are more than a few weeks postop with the variations on this new procedure. Please hang around and continue to report how you're doing. It's going to be a while before there are any long-term (two-plus years) stats to report due to the lag time in getting studies conducted and published, so the testimonials are going to be VERY important for a long, long time. (This is *still* true of the DS and it's been done, talked about and published about for over 20 years.)

If you know others who have had SADI or SIPS or whatever their surgeon calls a similar procedure, could you send them here to at least report in?

There are several people on OH who have had the Sadi.

The utterly misinformed BS that is being promulgated by know-nothings on OH is infuriating (recent post on 10/2). Dr.K will have a new description/distinction narrative with pictures on DSFacts soon (I'm helping to edit it).
