Participation in this group is for Dr. Pleatman's patients who want to exchange information about their experience with minimally invasive weight loss surgery. It is not intended to answer any personal medical information. Concerns you have about your present health condition should be addressed to Dr. Pleatman directly. The purpose is to support those patients who have general comments, concerns or questions about what they might expect to experience and offer encouragement as they progress toward their weight loss goals.
