Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 AMOS, or obesityhelp.com is a for profit company established by Klein. originally presented himself as a third year medical student, when it fact he has never been to any medical school. He is a computer programmer. While ostensibly established to help the morbidly obese, the true purpose of the site is to make money for the owners. They do this with the advertising they display and charging surgeons for links to their web site. As a side line, they develop web sites for surgeons. All those volunteer workers are just free labor for . It is a fiefdom whose rules of governance are completely arbitrary and capricious. Overall though, it is an excellent site for people who have had or are interested in having WLS.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Two years ago when I was researching it, he said he was a third year medical student although I've heard the medical supply thing too.
