That's awesome! Good luck with your doctor.

Hi, Everyone! I'm the database administrator for bariatric surgery at Johns Hopkins Bayview in Baltimore. I'm also on the planning committee for the Baltimore 2007 Walk From Obesity. Walks are being held across the country this September and October -- if you're interested in walking or donating, please visit The Walk from Obesity and choose the link on the right hand side to find a walk in your area. If you're near Baltimore and you're interested in joining Hopkins, St. Agnes, Sinai, and St. Joe at the walk, I encourage you to register and attend! Several walking courses are planned for people of all walking abilities, and the course, which runs through the Camden Yards/Ravens Stadium area, is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. If you're not able to attend but you're interested in sponsoring me, you can do so here: Baltimore, MD - General Donation **All of the money raised by the walk goes to support the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Obesity Action Coalition's obesity research, education, training, and prevention.** Thanks! Lisa

Hi! I'm the database coordinator and webmaster for the Johns Hopkins bariatric program (The Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery). We've got a form on the website where you can request a consultation, or you can call the office at 410-550-0409 and ask for Alice, Dr. Schweitzer's secretary. If you have any other questions, our program manager is Christine Walsh and her phone number is 410-550-4471. Christine is a nurse and along with our surgeons, dietitians, and nurse practitioner she hosts support groups and information sessions at the hospital. The dates for those (free) groups and info sessions are on the website. I'm also 27 and have been married for 2 years. We are thinking about having kids, too. Good luck and best wishes!!

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) has a list of surgeons on their site. I am the database coordinator at Hopkins Bayview - our website is The Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery if you'd like more information on our program! We have several wonderful surgeons. Good luck, Lisa
