LOL! I don't think so...I jus****ched him in a live video yesterday...unless I am completely out to lunch and uninformed!

Just asking what others think because I really liked his approach to WLS and wondered what others thought.

Thanks,

Barb

I remember that I think he had his license revoked so now he has a business teaching nutrition and how to eat for Weightloss surgeries.it was a big scandal in Texas. He has written books and was quite prominent. he was sued.

That was Dr. Kim.

Dr Vuong is the "support surgeon" and while I agree with some of his stuff, I don't agree with other things. I think some of the stuff he says has validity but other things he simplifies too much or doesn't acknowledge key issues for wls (like the head stuff) I don't agree on his don't exercise thing I don't think the solution to regain is meditation lol ?

To to be honest, most of all -- I'm disappointed by the stance he's taken to become "commercial". Hea become a brand. He's having tie ins with products now and of course is selling books.

Some people love him but like every surgeons videos, you have to dissect it for yourself as many times everyone disagrees. Mathew wiener is another popular one. His eat veggies first is another thing I disagree with. I think you have to take everyone with a grain of salt and take the good and leave the bad.

Thanks for the input, especially knowing that you are 10 years out. I think it's important to listen to those of you who have had the experience and still maintaining after all of that time. That's what we all hope for. I agree with you about some of the stuff he says and I liked watching Dr. Wiener's video's too, but ultimately the people who succeed in wls are whom I am most interested in hearing from!! Thanks so much again!

Ci have seen a few of his videos when someone posts a link. I like his "fat brain" "skinny brain" talks. I did not like what he said about exercise. Overall, he is very entertaining and straight forward and if I need a little more kick of motivation I have enjoyed his talks. But, with anything, take what is useful and leave the rest. No one is 100 percent t right.

referral: early June 2016; surgery Feb 21, 2017
