"Well I have decided not to use Dr. Barzune even though he is a great surgeon. I have decided to go with another great surgeon and that is Dr. John Alexander. I went to his party he had on 6/30/01 and was informative of the way he works. I have also been signed on to the Alexander website,which I see a ton of people that are extremely grateful for him and adore him. I have my first consult with him on 7/14/01 and I am a little nervous. But my dear friend that I want to call my big sister (as in me being the youngest) will help me get through this. I am do thankful for there to be a tool that can help me not overeat. Now from what I hear about Dr. Alexander he is very very concerned about his patients and he doesn't rush them. Well I will find out in a couple of week. I will post more about him, once I meet him on 7/14/01. 05/30/01 I felt that he was a very sincere person that is concerned with your overall health. He is very straight forward with you. I feel like he is the type of person that will not keep any information from you. He is also very informative about WLS. I have not had a actual consult. I met him through his seminar. People should know that Dr. Barzune has been doing this for a very long time. He states to please follow his regimen and all will work out. He has his own support group where anyone can attend. He emphasized on the risks and the good of WLS. I personally feel that surgical competence and bedside manner are of importance. "
