I NEED HELP TO LOCATE A DOCTOR TO MEET AND SET UP WSL. I LIVE IN CHARLOTTE AND CANT LOCATE ANYONE TO DO THE WORK. MOST LISTED DR. ARE WAY FAR OR BOOKED WAY OUT. HELP ME TO BECOME ONE OF YOU.    — michael C. (posted on August 7, 2000)

Michael, I live just outside the Asheville area. My surgeon is Dr. J. Ken Champion of Atlanta (actually, Canton, GA, just North of Atlanta). His web site is www.drchampion.com. He is a thoracic/vascular surgeon, internationally known for his expertise in laparascopic RNY. I can't recommend him highly enough. I found that 3 hours was not too far to drive for someone this qualified. Feel free to write me privately if you have any questions. [email protected]

Hi, I went to Dr. Eduardo Gonzales(correct spelling) in Winston Salem NC. He performs the surgery at Forsyth Memorial Hospital in WS. His office number is 336.659.8483. Everything happens fast in his practice. My approval time to actual surgery was 2.5 weeks. No time to back out(LOL).
