James Weber
"March 2005: I have not been in touch with Dr. Weber's office lately, but I have to say, I'm disappointed in my original surgery. Not being transected (EVEN THOUGH I ASKED TO BE) was a HUGE mistake. I have a staple-line problem and I will be revised to a 60" common-channel distal RNY with Dr. Ki Oh on April 28, 2005. Despite fairly rigorous compliance with dietary rules and absolute compliance with a strict vitamin & mineral program (as required by Dr. Oh), I've regained 85 pounds of the 184 that I lost. My sleep apnea and other co-morbidities are back. You can follow my revision progress <a href="http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=Z1111390377" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/opabinia" target="_blank">here</a>.<br><hr>January 2003: I continue to stay in contact with Dr. Weber. He's been great! I attended his in-service session for people considering the surgery in September 2002 at one year post-op, and that was a bit of a thrill. Several of the attendees approached me afterwards, saying that because I was skinny, they assumed that I was on Dr. Weber's staff! LOL<br><hr>05/14/01: Dr. Weber's staff, especially Edie, have all been excellent... friendly and intelligent, if very busy. Dr. Weber strikes me in much the same way, and I can certainly deal with that. I don't mind it if people are busy and in a rush as long as they pay attention to me and our conversation when I'm talking to them.<br> His aftercare program looks great and I have no problem with his insistence on exercise. He's clear about WHY he wants you to do the things he wants you to do, and that really helps me see it as a positive step for me instead of irrational punishment. <br> My first one on one consultation with him is June 22 and I'm sure I'll have more to say about him then, but so far, I'm impressed. I do wish that their packet was a little higher quality, and that they would include a FAQ listing, because it would save a lot of time during the in-service session. "
