Question:
Are there doctors in Pittsburgh area trained on Fobi Pouch?

I am seriously considering stomach surgury, and was very impressed by Dr. Fobi when I recently saw him on the Roseanne show. I am 60 years old, 5'1" tall, and weigh 275. My BMI is 53.7. Anybody that can give me more information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! [email protected]    — Carole F. (posted on April 14, 1999)

Dr. Yates and Dr. Mitchell in St. Louis trained under Dr. Fobi. Both sugeons perform the procedure. Both are excellent surgeons. Their telephone number is 800-660-7353.
