Pre-Op ?? w/ Dr. Fallang

I appreciate all the compliments and stuff, but I want to make it clear that my original post wasn't intended to be a solicitation for business! C

I would also like to chime in that I do not want sound like I'm soliciting and my original intention is to be available to answer questions about research and outcomes and when I offer information it is only based on published literature. I think that "posting" is an art of communication to master and obviously thats why emoticons were invented. I do not intend to recommend one person over another because I believe almost everyone who has chosen to become a bariatric surgeon has a accepted the a tremendous privilege to not only be available to patients but to provide ongoing education. Sometimes many of the issues associated with bariatric surgery are being studied and we don't know all the answers and more trends that absolutes. Bariatric surgeon's only want the best for all patients and the choice of not only the surgeon but the program can be very emotional and difficult. The one consist finding in most discussions I have read is a persons comfort level with that surgeons program but going around to each program to check things out is time consuming and difficult. I continue to recommend this site, when people are happy they will let you know it. I have a passion for helping people find the answers and only want to make myself available without obligation. It is fortunate that there are so many options but I also realize that's why it also confusing. Sincerely, Calvin Selwyn, M.D. Assistant Professor of Surgery University of Cincinnati
