The Japanese probably have the most experience in the world and pioneered endoscopy for the diagnosis of stomach problems. \n\nThere are a number of excellent options in US including the Ochsner Foundation in New Orleans. Cost may be an issue, but they are excellent. \n\nMy understanding is that there is an excellent hospital in Costa Rica, associated with Baylor University Medical Center. You should be able to find it on the internet.\n\nThere is a surgeon in San Salvador whom I know. He trained in the US in both General Surgery and Pathology. He is excellent if you can find him. His name is Dr Juan Calix.\n\nHope this helps

I have used Dr Mike Hunt in the past. He was a wonderful doctor.\n\nI would also suggest Dr Ben Dover.

Find another doctor or get a second opinion.

A perinatologist.  Your O. B. should be able to recommend one.  Any hospital that takes high risk pregancies or has a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will have a Perinatologist.

Yes!  First, you should go to your medical doctor and ask for a diagnosis.  Your M.D. might zone in on your gallbladder or liver.   If you don't have an emergency situation, then look for a qualified acupuncturist or practitioner of Chinese medicine (acupuncture is one part of Chinese medicine, which also includes herbs, massage, and more).\n\nAdditional Info:\nI couldn't find the link at the World Health Organization's Website, but the first link below gives the list of conditions treatable with acupuncture.  Digestive disorders are among them.  Go and get the tests done, but don't delay in finding yourself a qualified pracitioner of Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine.  I have included a link to NCCAOM where you can search for a therapist.

Painless, The tech will put a gel like substance on your abdomen, then rub a monitor over your abdomen.  The gel is a little cold sometimes, but that is the extent of it.  Tech will wipe the gel off and you are done.

I had Gastric Banding - Something else you might want to look into....when I first started my journey my gyno said Bypass but after I talked to my general doctor he gave me information on the gastric banding.  It is not as drastic as the bypass but you still get and see the results - It is a personal decision that you need to make and discuss with your doctors.  Yes www.obesityhelp.com is a great site for research and peoples stories of success - don't get me wrong there are some people that this is not successful for them or to the worst extreme they do die.  But this is how I looked at it - I am slowly dieing being 400lbs right now - at least I am trying to make myself better.  Talk it over with your doctors, family and others who have had it done.  Most doctors now will have seminars.  Good Luck!  By the way - I am down 60 lbs and able to walk not just to my car anymore - but I can walk up to a couple of miles.
