I am looking for a surgeon that will give me some options for weight loss, I have been down this road a few times whether to get it done or not. I want to find a good surgeon in my area but I have found the better ones are a few hours away and I am worried about complications and me not being able to get back to him/her in a hurry if I need too.

There are two in this area that I have visited and neither of them have outstanding surgical records and have not been rated that high, so I hate to settle with them.

This may be a long shot but I am wondering if anyone is in my area or outside this area that could help.

I hope you are able to find a surgeon in your area but if you cannot, the staff an University of Chicago hospital is amazing. Vivek Prachand did my surgery. Lots of people go out of state for surgery. There was a woman in my preop class from Ohio. Good luck.
