Apparently, Dr. Nohr is a phonemonal surgeon, but he does not offer any "extras" in terms of advice. I have heard his bedside manner leaves something to be desired. He has done numerous WLS, he has been doing them for many years now and quite successfully I have heard from a few of his previous patients.

He scheduled me for an open procedure because my BMI was a bit higher. I am 5' 2" and 287 pounds. I have bo idea what my BMI is, I can't remember.

I am not concerned about his ability as a surgeon. Most of the people who were trying to 'scare' me, in fact all of them, have never had WLS. They have heard from friends of friends and of the 4 people only one was by the same surgeon.

I am definatley concerend about the lack of information. Which is why I am on here trying to learn and get advice on what people did pre-op and post-op.
