Hi Gloria! I had my surgery with Dr. Keith Gersin at University Hospital on 04/28/03. He has since moved to North Carolina. Are you having surgery with Dr. David Fischer? If so, let me know. I haven't personally met him yet, but I will be having gallbladder surgery on 06/04/07. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Dr. Fischer is a good surgeon, I proctored him for Lap Band. UC is a great hospital as well. Dr. Trace Curry Cincinnati, Ohio Got a question?

Hello.  I am in cincinnat and I had Lap Band surgery 6 wks ago. I had considered the University Hospital but, I found Deaconess to be more professional and that made me feel more comfortable.
