Jeff - I am also looking into RNY surgery at images. My first consult is Jan. 31st. I don't know much about Dr. Hall, but from what I have read on here, he is wonderful. A friend of mine had the VBG by him a few years ago and she thinks the world of him. I live in Lubbock so when you get ready to come down here, please let me know. I would be glad to help you with anything you need. Congratulations on your date!!!
