Dr. Raftopolous is AWESOME!

My husband - (who is a normal weight person)has been having an unexplained pain in his left abdominal area - I had an appointment with Dr. R and was very upset about what was going on with my husband - he hasn't had a resolution of his issues since November! Dr. R offered to help!! I faxed all the tests and he reviewed them and requested to see my husband - they fit him in yesterday - he's ordered an ultrasound for my husband - he isn't exactly sure what is wrong - but the point is - THE MAN CARES and is willing to do what it takes to find out the source of his pain - (unlike the GI "specialist" who said keep taking the same medicine that hasn't worked for the last month for 3 more months and come see me - what a JERK!).

His reputation is on-target - he's not warm, he's not fuzzy - but the IMPORTANT thing is he genuinely CARES about people. I have so much respect for him - his follow-up is absolutely unrivaled by any - he is head and shoulders above his peers. He is not a money motivated person and it shows - I'm so thrilled I switched surgeons and my path lead me to Dr. Raftopolous!

Tammy,
How is the revision working for you?
You sound great.

Bev - I have one word - AMAZING - what a complete and total difference for me from that band! If I had known then what I know now I would have never gotten the band - for some reason that tool just didn't work for me (well - it did work great when it was unfilled and I was pregnant)....I've lost more in 3 months with this surgey then I did in 3 years with the band - I guess I just wasn't a good band candidate - I wish I could have been - oh well!

How are you?
