I actually picked Dr. Shieh and Georgescu.  Dr. Shieh did an emergency appondecoty on me a year ago, and he was great, I kep his card because he does WLS.  Part of what I liked about Dr Shieh is not only did he do an intern for WLS both Lapband and RNY, he did one in cosmetic surgery, he and his staff believe you will be his patient for life and he is great.  The program is just as good if not better than Dr. Snyder.   I do know many that have used Dr Snyder and have been pleased but again, for the total beyond WLS and possible surgeries I recommend Dr. Shieh he is great, caring comforting and I could go on for ever how much I trust him and his staff.

Congratulations!!!!  Yes, you are in for a whirlwind ride, but it is fun and exciting.  Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

This will be a choice you and your Dr. will make together based on your medical need and what you will be comfortable.  De. M. Shieh just did my RNY and it went very well.  So know what ever you choose the Dr will have your best interst at heart.  Plus do not be shy ask lost of questions....

I came home yesterday after my surgery on Monday morning. Dr. Fedorak was awesome and the Bariatric unit/staff were so great! It is good to be home. I did have to come home on oxygen and will be on it for about a week... but other than that I am feeling great and getting around. Now the wirlwind begins!!!   It is so weird all of the emotions I have been going through. When they were wheeling me into the OR I just started crying. Fran assured me this was normal:) When I woke up.. it was reality that WOW I really did this! Talking to my daughter has been great and thank you for all of the great advice.. She has had a lot of questions but also gets things a lot more than I thought she would. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible for her. She loves seeing Mommy eat with a baby spoon LOL! I will post in a few days how things are going. Sarah
