But that does not mean someone will not post something. It does not say on his resume where he did his bariatric training. I am wondering since Middletown Hospital is associated with the WISH Bariatric Center if he got his training through them and was one of their doctors. Personally, I am like you and want to hear about past experiences. If you do not find out anything you could always go see Dr. Curry who is moving to West Chester in March. That is close to Dayton area. Why not check him out? His references seem impeccable and I found all of his staff to be nice. You could attend his seminar over at Deconess in Cincy and set up your consult at the West Chester office. Just a thought. Good luck to you!

Robin, I had surgery with Dr. Fallang almost a year ago, and he is wonderful. I have done great. He does the surgery, almost always, open Roux en Y, at a private surgical hospital called Riverview Health Institute, which is located at Elizabeth Place, (the old St. E/Fransiscan hospital) They have a wonderful surgical center, with outstanding care and great staff. He does information sessions once per month for about 5 hours on that day. He does a wonderful job of explaining everything about the surgery and his philosophy. You can look at the Riverview website for more info. http://wwwriverviewhealthinstitute.com I have had a wonderful experience with no complications. I was only in the hospital for 2 days after surgery and only off work 2 weeks before going back full-time. I highly recommend him. Please feel free to email me with any other questions. Chris
