"My first visit was with Janelle McCleod the program coordinator. I can't say enough good things about that visit. I had gone their just to gather information and with every intention of changing my mind. By the time I left I knew that the surgery was what I had really been looking for all along. She warned me that Dr. Cooney looked young but assured me he was very competent at what he does. WLS is not the only surgery he performs. She was right. He was very kind and explained everything from what could go wrong to what to expect. Their screening process is very intensive. Very strict about compliance with their diet, aftercare, and offer support group.
The only complaint is that because they are so busy and intensive, scheduling each step has actually taken 3 months then the final doctor visit to schedule survery date. Surgery date is now 6 weeks away. "
