"I was very pleased with the care. The nurses have clearly been trained in dealing with obesity issues. Although I was one of the smaller patients, it was very clear that the hospital had made accomodations of all sizes. "
"My first meeting with the Dr. U was very swift. I really didn't get a good or bad impression of him. When I saw him the next few times, it was better and I got a good impression. What you should know is that he is some what reserved but underneath he has a good sense of humor. He did explain the different types of surgery to me and what his recommendation was based on my revision from Lap Band. Dr. U is part of The Center Of Excellence Baratric Program at Alta Bates in Oakland. It's structured and has a wealth of good info for you. rnrn"
