Dr. Searles did my RNY on 4/13/10.  He did a great job.  I haven't had any problems so far.  It's important to be responsible for taking care of yourself after the surgery, getting in the water, protein, staying on pureed foos for the first month, taking your vitamins.  I did alot of research on my own.  I ended up seeing my primary doc for nine months before the surgery, so I had alot of time to consider the consequences.  I only had my adult son at home with me.  He drove me home from the hospital and that's about all he had to do.  Everybody is different though.   I like Dr. Searles and I'm glad I didn't travel out-of-state.

 Im in the process of getting the RNY through Dr. Searles and i was wondering if anyone has had him? Also I wanted to know the side effects the bad ones! of the surgery. Im trying to see if i need to get the surgery done out of state closer to my family or if my husband can handle it. I want the truth and even if its gross. 

thanks!! PLEASE HELP!

My best friend who lives in alaska is being worked up for the DS, we are in Anchorage. Dr Todd said he would do it, we are checking out Dr Serles who says he also does them but we have not had an appointment with him yet.

 I've never heard of Dr. Todd or Dr. Searles doing the DS....this is new to me haha.
