Hey Ryan.
A lot of folk out here with plenty of experience.
I did wanted to drop by an Invitation.
It’s great to see other men out here.
We make up such a small percentage (12%)
Of the people having Weight Loss Surgery,
But tend to reach our goal weights quicker and with less
Or at least Different hassles than the Gals
Due to Male physiology.
Drop by the Men’s Forum
And check out what other men like you are going through.
It’s a diverse make up of Dads, Singles, Older, younger, etc…
Pre-Ops, Post-Ops new and some Old (at Goal) Post-Ops.
Lap-Banders, RNY’ers DS, etc…
Great bunch of guys with the mutual understanding
That WLS for Men can be a Totally Different Journey.

It’s Great to know we’re not so alone,
And that there are others pulling for you.

Hello from a fellow MMPC patient! I had Dr. K., but Dr. Foote did my endoscopy, and he was great!

Hey Wanda,

Its good to find out that there is another MMPC'er on th board
i am really glad that my grandma refered me to MMPC
it has been easy going there it seems like they are always
available to answer questions but sometimes it takes them a couple
of days to answer back....my grandma had her surgery done by dr foote
so that is why i chose to see him because she is doing so great
i hope you have had good experiences with MMPC
what kind of procedure did u have done when u went there???

i am going to have the switch done with a sleeve too
i guess its called an aborted procedure so my insurance will cover it
but anyway would love to hear back about your experiences with MMPC
take care

Ryan
