I havevn't found anyone on OH that has had the same surgeon I've had. Has anyone been sleeved from Dr. Robert Richards? If so, how'd it go? I have my procedure in 6 days!
He operated on my friend in March 2010. She had a complication (totally unrelated to the dr). She says he is a great surgeon and was completely satisfied with his treatment. You will do well, I'm sure.

He is a great doctor. He performed my gastric bypass in Aug 2010. He is meticulous and has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend him. He is performing my sister's gastric bypass on Jan 10.
Dr. Richard did my RNY in 2007 and did a great job. He is a very nice and caring dr. and I would recommend him to anyone.
I guess you have had your procedure by now and hope you are doing great. Good luck with it all!
Yep, I had my VSG on December 8th and Dr. Richard was amazing!!! I would let him operate on my children I trust him so much. Thanks for the responses and I hope everyone is doing great!
