I was initially trained as a Vascular Surgeon but when I discovered how effective bariatric surgery was at resolving Diabetes and other medical problems I knew that was the specialty for me! So I left a successful vascular surgery practice and re-trained as a bariatric surgeon. That was 20 years ago and I have never looked back! Watching patients go thru this life-changing procedure has been immensely satisfying. It continues to motivate me to this day.
