"I met Dr. Voellinger in October of 2003. I was pleased and impressed with him. He began by discussing my current weight and health and the risks that I was under because of my obesity. Secondly, he informed me that surgery was an option and I was a candidate, but there were other alternatives that he could help me with. He then explained all the risk of bariatric surgery and explained in detail the three types of surgery that he performs, and in his opinion which one would be best for myself. During my appointment we didn't discuss many details about the pre and post op life of the surgery. I later got this information when I met with the psychiatrist and nutrionist who see Dr. Voellingers clients and have detailed instuctions and rules that are all a part of the weight loss surgery process. So far I am feeling confident in my decision to have surgery and my choice of surgeons. Hopefully I won't have any regrets."
