I just had my surgery 4/29/11 by Dr. Weiner and I feel it was the best decision I have ever made! I was going to go to another Dr. and found out Dr. weiner who coincidently works with me, also did the surgery. I was very secure with him and his staff. They were very knowledgable and willing to answer all questions. It's been 3 weeks and 35lbs, so I can not complain. The surgery was real easy. I would truly recommend Dr. Weiner. Try going to a few seminars and support groups. Good luck !
