David Fallang Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first visit with Dr.Fallang is not until
May 3rd. I am so excited about the consultaion. I have talked to several of
the ladies that work in the office, and all
seem really nice and helpful.

He is real nice & explains things. He is a good surgeon.

I was very impressed with Dr. Fallang immediately. Patients are required to attend an information seminar before surgery, and he actually gives the seminar. He's very personable and you can tell he really cares and is interested in you as a person. His staff was extremely helpful - always willing to answer questions or calm fears. I cannot think of a single negative to say about Dr. Fallang or his office. The office is extremely informative and caring and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They put out a booklet that takes you through the process of the surgery and post-op. I think the aftercare could be more structured, but I believe I am hindered a bit because I live in another state (for instance, I can't participate in their support group). When I did go back for my 6 week check-up, Dr. Fallang gave me as much time as I needed. I didn't feel like I was being rushed out to keep him on schedule. He was great about answering questions and explaining things to me. Every detail of the surgery was explained to me - and covered in the booklet. Overall my experience with Dr. Fallang has been a wonderful one and I would rate him on a scale of 1-10 at a 15! Both his surgical competence and his bedside manner are outstanding.

I was somewhat apprehensive of not meeting one-on-one with Dr. Fallang prior to surgery. However, the two-hour informational session was very informative. In addition, his staff has been really great in helping with questions/concerns I have had.

I felt Dr. Fallang had a great bedside manner during my hospitalization. Dr. Martin, who is his new associate, assisted in my surgery (didn't see him except the day of surgery). Overall, I would recommend anyone to Dr. Fallang who might be interested in having this surgery.

Two weeks after surgery, those of us who had surgery the same week returned to his office and his nursing staff talked to us about progressing our diet and care of our incision.

Dr. Fallang was sent directly from heaven, I'm convinced! He is a wonderful, talented surgeon with a caring bedside manner. He was very informative at the "group session". The entire staff is great! I just Love 'em all!
Having this life-changing surgery was the best thing I ever did for "me", and choosing this doctor to perform this procedure was the best choice I ever made.
To sum it up, Dr. Fallang has a halo!
RATE: PERFECT 10!

I met with Dr. Fallang on April 6, 2000. He is a very caring physician. Dr. Fallang discussed everything you would want to know about the procedure. They have a very structured program. All of the office staff was wonderful.

I am concerned about the risks involved with the surgery, however, they aren't any worse than the problems I am having now.

I can not wait to have the surgery. My life will begin the day it is done.

I believe that Dr. Fallang is an angel. He has given me a new life. He is kind, caring, and a very good surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of having the surgery. I drive 2 hrs. one way to my visits, but I wouldn't change a thing.

I was very impressed by him. He seemed to have a realistic understanding of obesity and its related problems. We had a group meeting in which he explained the surgery, possible complications, future expectations. He stayed for a long time afterward answering any and all questions. He helped me with problems with my boss. His office was quite helpful and there was no stalling at all. I think I had approval in 3-4 weeks. There was no

Dr. Fallang is a very attractive, energetic, talkative and concerned physician. I was very impressed with his enthusiasm for helping people and learning more and more about how this surgery affects everyone individually. He requires you to attend an informational meeting at the hospital before making your final decision about the surgery. There are risks as with any surgery and a lot of people need to be informed of what to expect post-op. I know I did. Dr. Fallang has a very structured aftercare program. He removes staples in 10 days. Sees you at 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and once a year post-op. He keeps close tabs on your cholesterol, iron, vitamin B's, and other levels that I'm not sure of. This made me feel very comfortable about my choice of physician. His bedside manner is even great! One more thing, he doesn't baby you. He encourages moving around as much as possible after surgery to get you healthy and he urges you to excersize. I personally totally agree with him on that. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Dr. Fallang and his staff a 9!!

Dr. Fallang was a down to earth person. He was VERY informative and credible. He was funny and seems to have an excellent bedside manner. I'm looking forward to meeting him one on one.

I have yet to met Dr. Fallang, but his office staff is fabulous. They have been super, attentive and courteous. If the doctor is anything like the rest of his staff I know that I am in good hands.
