okay so there is a section on this site where you can look up doctors. So I look up the doctor I am interested in using and I see under his name it only says like 39 patients. Now, Im certain he has more than that. can you tell me how accurate this information might be? who is responsible to update it? Im curious?

that means 39 people on THIS website have claimed him as their surgeon

Not every WLS patient finds their way to this particular website, or any other online group. And of those that find their way here, not all of them put who their surgeon was (I didn't).

hope that helps!

Girliegirl, for funsies I looked up my surgeon and the information was very outdated, by several years, so I'm not sure I would put a lot of stock in that particular research tool.
