UMMC Patients? DId any have open RNY at this facility?

Hi everyone I was just wondering has their been anyone who had open surgery at this facility, I have surgery on Jan 24,2011, thisis my second time the first time surgery weas stopped because the Doc said my liver was the largest he has ever seen , I have bills left from that surgery and will have bills from this one also, a third time is not and option I would rather have them convert to a open procedure. For the next Two weeks I am going to do 3 shakes a day and that is it.

Hi Cindy.  I had laposcopic RNY done at this facility on 9 Nov 2010.  I can't address the open surgery but I just want to tell you that this is a great facility.  The doctors and nursing staff rocks.  Dr. Kligman was my surgeon.  He trained your surgeon and I have nothing but high praises for Dr. Kligman.  A member of my support group was the very first patient last year of your surgeon and she raves about him.

Good luck with your surgery.   

All I can tell you is Dr. Lomenzo is the best and he was doing this for years before he came to UMMC. I had rny in August and everything went great. Put your full trust in him and he will do what is best for you and your health.
