I am doing great too - have/had acid but I think I got it all under control now. I am almost 4 weeks post op - September 10th!

Hi Charlie, I am down! I would LOVE to find a local support group! Would rather not do on work week because traffic is a BEAR. How do the weekends work for the support group? Thanks, Jen

Hi supbanana What a great review. Loved it! I went with different Dr but I think you will others with your great feedback!

Hi everyone, Do I need to bring ext. Cord with me for my heating pad? Thanks!

HI! I so took your advice and called the office. Dr. Kaiser isn't taking on any new patients but I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Davis who works in the same office and she told me that she works with WLS patients too! Looks like I may have found someone. I have appointment with her July! I am super happy!!!!! Thank you!
