Have hre look up Dr. Lee Trotter in Rapid City SD! He is moving his practice back there (he was there before) after a few years being in Spokane WA. He will be greatly missed in our area! I had VSG with him on 10/20/08. I have had zero complications and my weigthloss is right on track. His one-on-one consults after surgery are a treasure, he really cares about his patients and their success!

Does anyone know why Dr. Harris is closing his office?  I was shocked when I got a letter yesterday saying his office was closing. I called and all I could find out was it was for "undisclosed reasons".  Hope he is not ill......

Dr. Trotter is no back in Rapid City.  He is doing surgerys out of Health Concepts.  He does the procedures at Black hills Surgery Center.   I just went to one of his preop informational meetings tonight.

A new Weight loss support group has been formed via Facebook....it is the :

NJ WLS Group

We would like to welcome All members of OH - regardless of what type of surgery you have had or state you call home.

This is a secret facebook group - it will not show up in your Facebook profile and only Admins can invite members.

If you are interested please PM me with your FB info and I will send a FB friends request to you - once you accept it I will send the invite to you - we look forward to meeting everyone!
