Hello all ,

My name is Mark and I live in Canton , Ohio . I recently had the surgery at the end of November 2012 . I had my surgery at St. Vincents Charity Hospital in Cleveland , Ohio . My doctors name was Ben Mier . I have had no regrets in choosing to have the surgery whatsoever . A lot of people that who have asked me after the surgery wanted to know why I chose this procedure . I tell them I chose this procedure , because I want to live longer . I want to start doing the things I use to do before the weight got out of hand . I find myself more confident now , energetic and eager to help people more that are in the same situation that I was . If anyone that is concidering the surgery and would just like to talk . Drop me an email at the site and I will be glad to talk to you .

THANK YOU

How cool! I used to work at St Vincent's Charity in Cleveland. Small world. I know live in cape coral Florida and had my surgery 2/4/13 at Cleveland Clinic Westin near ft lauderdale. I'm still in the CCF Computers from when I lived in Cleveland 8 years ago. I actually know your doctor too. I'm a nurse so I have taken care of some if his patients in the past. Congrats to you. I feel the same way. I tell everyone about this surgery Nd want to mentor anyone who is going through this journey so they are not alone. Best wishes for continued success from one buckeye to another!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
