I am finding a huge lack of information on Mission Weight Management and the surgeons they use (Edwards, Soosar, Alan ??). The practice is with Mission Hospital. Has anyone had experience with WLS through this practice? I cannot even meet the surgeon until after four months of hoop jumping, so cannot ask questions, discuss surgery types, etc. Very frustrating as I attempt to make the best decisions for myself.

The practice I started going through for surgery seemingly does not have any awareness of or knowledge of DS - which I find difficult to believe, but the lack of knowledge of it has been verified by the blank faces when I attempt to ask a general question - so I am in search of a solid practice and surgeon with whom I can discuss DS as an option. Any suggestions? Or has anyone travelled just for surgery and really liked the surgeon? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I'm on my third Hathaway appt and have done all the rest except the second grp dietician visit. I am still hesitant about using these docs - I'm glad you were able to get the info you needed to feel comfortable to get it going. I'd just feel better if I knew more, or could find more indicating they are really experts. Thanks for your encouragement; that helps Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
