I absolutely cherish my surgeon. She is clear and firm -- which is exactly what I need!
When I first met Dr.Foster I wasn't sure which surgery to have.She was very sensitive to me and also very professional.I went back several times before decided on the band.Shernis very firm in her WLS and expects her patients to be too.She was always very helpful and available prior,through and after surgery.rnI can't say enough about her staff.Yvette is a doll.She has been so helpful and supportive to me.I look foward to my office visits.rnI think future patients should be as informed as they can be on the surgery and what to expect.Then discuss with your doctor all they expect.rnI have to say Dr.Foster overall was best in all aspects- surgical competence, bedside manner, and real care and concern for you thernperson.
Dr. Foster is very intelligent, caring, strong, funny, and attractive. She will not take any B.S. and that is great with me. She wants only patients she believes will be successful. She has an excellent staff. She goes overall the benefits and risks of surgery with great detail. I look forward to having a strong relationship and her support as I know this will be one of the most important decisions of my life.
rnMy first impression of Dr. Wetter was he seemed very confident in what he does and had done many lapriscopic RNY procedures. He is to the point and no non-sence kinda guy. Not warm and fuzzy at all. I prefer competence and experiance over warm and fuzzy anyway. He told me to think of quality of quanity when it came to food. Saver a small piece fo chocolate because the first bite is always the best, the second confirms the first and then it will not taste as good as the 1st and 2nd bite. Not much of an aftercare program. I am also out of the area and cannot go to the support group meetings in Burlingame. I have found my own support group where I live and have met many other post -ops that have been very helpful to me. So far I am very happy with Dr. Wetter and I would give him very high ratings. I am saying this 2 weeks post-op
Dr. Foster left a great first impression on me. She was very detailed in taking my history, considering if I was a candidate, discussing my options and then telling me what to expect. rnrnHer staff is also amazing (truly). They are all very personable. But I do find that the office usually runs behind on appts.rnrnDr. Foster provides you information about the support group (through the hospital), and after care.rnrnDr. Foster was recommended by several of my co-workers and I too recommend her as well.
Dr. Legha seemed a little distant and clinical on the first visit. He seemed very confident and was able to give me a lot of useful information. We discussed the surgery and he went over the possible complications. I felt very secure with him. The second visit went much better. He was more open and friendly. Each visit after that, I felt him lighten up even more and become friendly. He now hugs me each time he sees me. He gave me back my life and I will always appreciate what he has done for me. His assistant Susan is a peach.

Dr Foster is very efficient, competent and patient doctor. Her office staff is great and worked with me to reschedule my surgery when I chickened out. She has high expectations of her patients and I will do my best to meet or exceed them.
rnI absolutly love Dr. Foster. I totally trust her and feel totally good about my new journey with her. She is such a great thing for me and just love her to death. I can't wait to continue my new journey with her by my side. She is truely a great surgeon....rnshe totally believes in the aftercare program and wants you to fully succeed with your new found life. She gave me so much information and answered all my questions with the upmost care and concerns. I don't have anything negitive to say about her... She is simply wonderful and glad I found her to do my sugery.
