FYI

Dr. Marcus is located in Silver Spring, MD (a DC suburb). He is an older

doctor who graduated from Med school in 1954. I believe he practices at Holy

Cross Hospital. The only DS surgery that he does is the older version that

was done years ago(BPD DS). He only operates open. He is well thought of

and a board certified respected professional. He has a strong support

group and has performed many operations. However, I repeat, he does not do

the same surgery that is discussed on this group. I investigated him as

well as all the other Bariatric surgeons in this area at the time and I went

to NY.
