"I met with a doctor in the Fresno, CA area, however, I was not comfortable with him or the fact that the hospital he uses does NOT have an ICU. The nearest ICU is 13 miles away. The drive was herendous too. I didn't like the idea of going that far on a semi-continual basis. So, I decided to look for a "local" doctor. Unfortunately, the closest local doctor is at least an hour's drive in any given direction. I started doing research and stumbled across Dr. Wetter (quite by accident). When I read the fact that he pioneered the lap-RNY and all the positive comments on this website, I decided to make an appointment.
I appreciate Dr. Wetter's direct manner. He doesn't beat around the bush and tells you in very simple language the benefits and RISKS to this life altering step. Dr. Wetter explains the procedure but really emphasizes what happens after surgery. After all, what you do, or DON'T do can make or break the surgery. He discusses in detail the aftercare process and outlines your responsibility as a patient if the procedure is to be successful and so that you FULLY benefit from it. His office is extremely busy and I have had to wait on hold for extended periods of time to speak to someone. Dr. Wetter does return calls in a timely fashion though."
