still needing info...

thanks for the input! there is no local bariatric surgeon. also, my general surgeon retired and moved to the coast. i have NO idea how to find my bariatric surgeon. she has moved to a big metropolis, and gone into a fellowship to eventually become a pediatric surgeon. i will try to find her today.
thank you so much for sharing your experience!

UPDATE: i've checked with every site in the cincinnati ohio area, and did not find dr murrell.
