My surgeon actually found me. I was in the hospital last year for what they thought was apendicitis (sp?). My bariatric surgeon was going to be the surgeon to take my apendix out if I had the operation. He spoke with me about the bariatric surgery, but my insurance company at the time didn't cover it. I kept his card and called him when I switched employers and got better insurance.
I did some research on him and he has done several hundred bariatric surgeries, not major complications or fatalities to date. I made my final decision when I met with him in his office the first time and he made my questions and concerns the most important thing on his agenda. That made me put my trust into him from that point on.
