by the way i have chosen Doctor Malley in Kansas City Missouri to do my surgery when the time comes up to do it.

Can I ask why you choose Dr. Malley? I am considering him as well, and any info you can tell me about your decision would be appreciated.

i posted that too soon i had wanted dr malley to do my surgery because of the testimonials and things i read on this site about dr malley.. i only wish he was closer to me. i spoke with my regular doctor and she asked me if i was prepared to make several trips to kansas city which is 6 1/2 hours one way from where i live...since my post i recieved info that st johns in springfield just became certified as a center of excellence in bariataric surgery.. that is only 1 1/2 hour trip one way so i am now having my surgery done there....
