My original surgeon is leaving UAB.  I have looking here and other web sites for other surgeons.  However, I want to know if there is a place to go and find out about how many complications, success stories and even deaths that each surgeon has had.  Anyone know how to find this information without actually asking the surgeons office themselves?  I have called different surgeons and of course they want you to come to the siminars to find out any information.  Any help on the top docs in AL would be great.  If you have any negative expereinces please feel free to send me a personal message if you'd rather.  I need to do as much research as possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

I went to a doctor recommended by a friend (he did her by-pass) and several doctors I know. Of course he's up in Huntsville and I don't know anything about the docs around B'ham. I hope someone can give you some info!

Good luck!

I just love my surgeon-Rex Sherer with Cahaba Valley Surgical at Shelby hospital.  You can research doctors on the internet....some info is available for free, or you can pay for an in-depth report.  Just Google "background check on doctor" and you'll get several options.

Jane I highly recommend Dr. Bryan Freeman in Anniston.  With this group you 2 for the price of one.  His assistant Tim is so knowledgeable on WLS and is a super person.   The whole office is wonderful and bend over backwards to help you.  Dr. Freeman has had WLS so he knows what we deal with day in and day out.  If you will look at the top of this page and click on his name it will take you his site.  Hope that helps you.
