— ObesityHelp.com User Review"It started off positive until after surgery. Dr didn't listen to anything... Trying to get follow up appointment is a battle. It feel like u fight to get follow up appointment that i already feel is useless bc issues from day 2 are still happening months after surgery with no plan of even addressing."
