Kenneth B. Jones, M.D. Choosing a good surgeon was my top priority when I decided to have WLS. First, I listened to what others had to say about the surgeons in my city. Then I asked several doctors, who I work with, for their independent opinions of whom they would recommend. I told them what kind of surgery I had chosen and they ALL reccommended the same MD; Dr. Kenneth B. Jones.
I learned that he was the most experienced surgeon for WLS in this area and that he had done thousands of RNY.
His office staff, Sue and Kim also came highly reccommended by previous patients. I found him and his staff to be so helpful and supportive. I am a self pay patient, so they did their best to advise me of the probable costs involved. Dr. Jones answered all mine and my husbands questions before surgery and in the hospital. He has also shown a great deal of concern and dedication to me in the aftercare. He has offered his help at any time I need it. He completelty addressed all risks and benefits of surgery, the lifestyle changes necessary to adapt to afterwards and the assurance that this procedure was generally a very safe procedure long term if one follows aftercare instructions. I would highly reccommend him to any patient.

Life Long Journey So, now it's February. In Louisiana it's cold one day and warm and muggy the next. I'm anxious for Spring. I have been working on this journey since August. It's been a journey. I am happy with my weight loss and the strength/endurance I have gained from exercising. I love wearing cuter clothes. I still get lots of compliments, which I also like. I have 27 pounds more till goal. As time goes by I am more and more aware that I need to keep working on lifestyle changes. You really can eat more and tolerate more as time go on. So, being responsible with your choices is a life long journey. Losing the weight is just the begining. Still, this was a good choice for me to get a great start towards the healthier person I want to be. Every person is subject to the results of how they treat their body. Some time, some day, it will catch up with you. WLS is a great tool for those who need it. I'm grateful for a husband who supported me to go that direction.
