"very knowledgable. he is a very funny guy, down to earth. not a surgeon who has found a comodity and selling it, he truely cares about his patients and helping them become as healthy as possible. he is working in conjuction with a weight loss program, they kind of test you for six weeks pre surgery to make sure you are serious and that you are going to comply to the post op diet. you have to follow a very strict, well supervised six week fasting before surgery. this not only helps you prepare for post op, but promotes weight loss which improves health and decreases your post op complications (there are a few that can happen). this program also follows you 41 days post op to give you maximum amount of time to heal and decrease comnplications. this also helps you become aware of the amount that your new pouch can hold."
