that if I was going to have WLS, it would be the DS. >>

I also am from the Chicago area. I too found it hard to believe there was

not a DS doctor in this vast area. I decided I wanted a surgeon I could

drive to. So I decided to go straight to the source (pioneer) and went to

Dr. Hess in Bowling Green, OH. It is an easy drive straight out i-80 and

takes about 4.5 hours. I can leave early in the morning for a post op

appointment and be back by 4 pm the same day. I have gone alone on several

occasion (not when I had surgery though). Bowling Green is a very easy town

to get around also. Dr. Hess is an older (and very experienced) surgeon and

only does the DS open (didn't have enough video games in his day I guess

lol).
