I am relocating back to the Cleveland area, around Parma and i am seeking a size friendly Doctor, a General Doctor who has experience with patients in the 300+ range of weigth.  I have a Lap band but I am seeking a revision, so I am hoping they are pro weight loss surgery as well.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I used to go to State Road Family Practice in North Royalton, to the senior Dr. Frantz. (His son is also a GP in this practice)

I'm not sure I would go as far as to call him 'fat friendly', but when I saw him for minor things I was never abused/berated by him or his staff at 450+ lbs.

I also saw him pre-DS and he agreed to help me with post surgery follow-ups, since I was having my surgery out of the country. Based on that and the fact they are associated with one of the hospital RNY programs, I would say he's reasonably pro-WLS.

You might also try calling the hospital where you are having the revision and asking for
a recommendation for a dr. that is familiar with weight loss surgery.
