Are doctors available for questions there? Or - can they answer questions about the sleeve? Dr. Champion's nurse could not speak much to the sleeve (he has only 2 patient's with it) and I would really rather not waste my time going, if no one can really answer questions - know what I mean, jellybean? I am running out of seminars and support groups with sleeved folks!

Thanks for your input!

Try Dr. Dennis Smith with Advanced Obesity Surgery. He does all the surgeries and will answer questions about all of them.

Dr Smith had some good info last night at his seminar. He was not at the one last night, but they said he does come for the support group meetings. He does the sleeve procedure.
