This is not so much a question, but....

I wanted to let everyone know about an article I read. Here is the link...http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/02/48hours/main603413.shtml. I want other like me who are considering surgery to read it because I think it is so important to make sure your surgeon is qualified to perform the procedure. Nowadays we are forced to experience long waits for consultations myself included because of the popularity of WLS. I want surgery more than anything, but I am also aware that the surgeon I want is highly sought after and extremely experienced as well. I would hate to think that I read this article and did not pass it along to all of you and someone paid with their life. WLS saves lives as we all know, but I wanted to make sure that we all make sure to research everything before taking the plunge. Just because someone is a surgeon does not mean we should trust him/her. Check out your surgeon before trusting him/her with your life. You have all been so wonderful to me whenever I have asked a question and I wanted to take this opportunity to provide this info to all of you. God bless you all:-)
