Don't know if you are still looking for a surgeon in Ohio or not, but I highly recommend Dr. John Zografakis at the Summa’s Bariatric Care Center in Akron, Ohio. I had my sleeve done there in July 2010. I love them there.
I told my family and my husband's family. I also told some co-workers and my friends. I did lose one friend along the way. I had no problem sharing the fact that I was having surgery.
