Dr. Magnuson was my surgeon and I think he did an excellent job. I'm 3 1/2 months out and have not had any complications and so far feel great. He was patient and answered all my questions. He has a PA named Pat Jordan who is great to deal with as well.

I had Dr. Schweitzer. No bedside manner at all but pioneered the lap RNY, so an excellent surgeon. I only saw him at the preop visit and surgery day anyway, so bedside didn't much matter to me. Dr. Steele trained under Schweitzer and is also excellent. She's tough and very serious about following the rules and getting the most out of the process. She did my best friends RNY. Like her a lot!

Good luck!
