Staying w/my surgeon,2/14 is the day!

Thanks to everyone for you advice. I officially decided on Friday that I will stay with Dr.Maundelbaum. I think it may have been my own personal fears that led me to research the other choices. I know 2 people that he performed their surgeries and they adore him. He does have 16 years experience w/laproscopic surgery, and his track record for bariatric surgery is excellent. So it's decided, and my surgery is on Feb.14th! Thanks, Melissa

happy valentines day to you..

I'm going with Dr Maundelbaum, too. I had interviewed a couple of surgeons and talked with people from other groups before deciding.
