Neen Welcome to the board. Thanks so much for your input. I guess what caught my attention with this article was the Local Va Dr. added his data to it. Felt like I should pay more attention since I know of him.

The "local VA doctor DID NOT add his input into this article...it was an excerpt taken from another article he DID do.  I have called his office (he is my surgeon) and was assured of this.  Dr. H is passionate about this and would never be a part of something so one sided.

Wow I am sorry if you felt that I was sending any bad  vibes toward Dr. H. That was not my intention. I just found the article interesting and a bit scary. Sorry if you found what I said a little offensive.

Lanette,

Not at all.  I found the entire article a bit offensive!  Dr. H is one of the best surgeons out there.  He has been doing this surgery longer than anyone else still in practice.  He would never be a part of an article that had the tone of this one.  He truly believes in what he does and giving people back the active lives we should all have,  I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Dr. H was not negative toward the surgery or the people that have it.  He is not nor has he ever been fat but he truly cares about all of us individually and wants us to succeed.  He is a pioneer in this field!  Sorry if I came across like you offended me.  You ABSOLUTELY did not!

Hi All,

Welcome to Neen C first of all.

Obviously the writer of the WLS article in Self magazine took a doom and gloom approach to the entire subject and ranted and raved in sensationalism.

Whatever!
