"I haven't met w/ Dr. Kothari yet, but I am going to the informational meeting tomorrow. I have done quite a bit of reading on several doctors in MN and WI and Dr. Kothari sounds like the choice for me - and he's in my area :)
3/30/03 - I met w/ Dr. Kothari and the bariatric team on Friday. I was so impressed w/ how helpful everyone was and how sincere they are about helping us. The team is very straightforward about the surgery and does not sugar-coat anything. There are risks involved in this surgery and the decision should not be taken lightly. I am very impressed w/ how proactive Dr. Kothari and his team are and I feel that they are really covering all bases - emotional, physical, before and after surgery, etc, etc. At this point, I would highly recommend Dr. Kothari and the bariatric team."
