My WLS was done at a center of excellence in Park Rapids, MN, Dr. Smith and his assoct's are so involved in patient care...he recieved his center of excelence 2 years ago. This small town hospital recruited him and added a wing for his patients and all his staff have had WLS so when they take care of you after surgery they know exactly how you feel. Thats important...Peggy
