I AM GOING TO THE MCLAREN BARIATRIC INSTITUTE IN FLINT,MICHIGAN.DR.KIA SEEMS VERY KNOWLEGEABLE ABOUT THIS SURGERY.HIS STAFF IS GREAT,ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS.THEY HAVE A GOOD PRE-OP PROGRAM OF CLASSES,WHERE YOU GET TO TALK TO PSYCHOLOGIST,DIETICIAN,AND BARIATRIC NURSE.THEY ALL EXPLAIN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF YOUR JOURNEY TO HAVE BARIATRIC SURGERY.THEY SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD AFTERCARE PROGRAM IN PLACE,AND OUR AVAILABLE 24/7 BY PHONE.DR.KIA HAS ALL PATIENTS COME TO A SEMINAR FIRST,WHERE HE EXPLAINS THE PROCEDURE,RISKS,AND BENEFITS.AFTER THAT YOU CAN MAKE APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM.HE HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER,AND ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS COMPLETELY.I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ANYONE,AND THIS DOCTOR.
