Huge Loss to WLS community

I'm so sad to report that we lost a wonderful surgeon to our community, Dr. Homan and his wife Valerie. Just this past week many of our staff had a chance to spend time with Dr. Homan and his wife Valerie at the ASBS conference. Dr. Homan will be extremely missed by his patients, staff, family and friends. Obesityhelp is very saddened by this turn of events and our sincere condolences go out to all that knew the Homans. This was quote from an online article and shows the true compassion that Dr. Homan offered those who came into his life. "He touched the lives of hundreds of people who've had morbid obesity as a problem." Homan's Web site, www.HomanMD.com , includes a statement from the doctor saying, "Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping a patient resolve a difficult problem. There is no group of patients faced with a more difficult challenge than those who are severely overweight."
