"My surgeon will be Dr. David Coster, Grinnell, IA. Dr. Coster was recommended to me by several patients who have had gastric bypass done by him. I found him to appreciate my research and listen to my requests. He does not like to perform “distal” surgeries, because of the malabsorbtion problems. We compromised on bypassing 100-120 cm of intestine with a small, 15cc pouch. I have seen his work on other patients and the scars are very decent-looking. He also performs the panniculectomy."
