"First impression was very favorable (support meeting). Although he did not know me he answered my two questions. I had not yet decided to have WLS but now I have decided to have it. His office staff called me for more information after my family doctor sent him my records and she was very willing to answer my questions. Dr. Cobean seemed to be very direct and considers morbid obesity to be a disease just like heart disease or kidney disease. He explained how genetics are involved in how much you weigh. He has aftercare for two years plus support groups once a month and a newsletter once a month. I have yet to have my first office visit with him (which I understand is for one hour!). I have a friend who had WLS done by him and I feel that his surgical compentence and bedside manner were caring and careful about his surgery."
