Yes...I had rnine on Jan 22.  It is still a little rough....but getting better.  Eating is not fun...hopefully it will be tolerable eventually. I am really glad I did it.  When did you have your band placed? A friend of mine had one that had to be taken out also. I don't know of anyone who has had dr weaver, but you might find someone who has at one of the support group meetings.  YOu might also check in the ohio group and see if anyone is familiar with him.  The thing I did like about him is he determines on a case by case basis (based on what I am not sure) ,where on your intestine he places the Y. Verseman does a prescribed 21 inches...I am not sure if weaver would have placed mine differently.  I am so far very happy with my surgery. 

I went to Dr Weaver's seminar and was impressed with him.  I ended up going with Dr. Verseman mainly because Dr. Weaver's home hospital is Bronson.  Because I work at Borgess I cannot have my surgery at Bronson.  Although Dr. Weaver will go to Borgess I always think it is best when a doc works with the surgical crew he is used to.  I did like him very much though when I heard him at the seminar.  I think, as I recall, he hails from the Cleveland Clinic. 

I am not familiar with this surgeon but know of several people from the Kzoo area who have had their surgeries through GHP. Have you checked the OH area where people have given ratings of their surgeons?

Good luck finding info.

Looking for a couple of reviews, will be self pay from Canada as OHIP won't cover my daughter as her BMW is only 36 with no coexisting.

i would say that technology has come along that its the CARBS not the sugar that matters so why dont they send you to eat x amount of carbs, then sit and get tested so many hours after.  makes sense to me.  or do an a1c.  are you seeing an endocrinologist?
