Dr. Coates Modesto, CA

Hey I had my RNY done by Dr. Coates on 7-12-11...Anyone that went through Coates or planning on going through him? Looking for support group buddies... :o)

I had Dr. Coirin...They work togeather.  Try and make it to the support meeting on Monday...6:00pm in McHenry Village.  Patty leads it (I'm sure you have met her with all the pre op stuff).  I try and make it about every other month...Even almost 5 years out, I try to get there for support of the new people and to try and learn something new as an oldtimer.  There is also another support group that meets at Bethal Church in Modesto...Patty would have more info on that one too.  Brian

Ok great! I will try my best. I just don't want to go alone, & my husband would have to stay at home with our daughter, since I'm sure there are no kids there. I would really like to start attending though!

I've had the lapband with Dr. Coirin, he's a great surgeon I have no complaints. I've stopped losing weight and thats not the surgeons fault. It's mine, I should have gotten the gastric bypass. I'm actually going to go in tomorrow to find out about switching and what it entails.
