I have been overweight my entire life and right now my BMI is 40 and I NEED A SURGEON that will actually see me....I have learned about the lapband and the rny and the DS.....I have spoken to a very nice lady whose situation was very similiar to mine and she sucessfully had the RNY down south in AL.........PLZ IF ANY ONE CAN OFFER ME ANY INSIGHT PLZ EMAIL ME OR POST A MESSAGE......Godbless....Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, My surgeon has many years of experience with RNY, DS and Lapband. His partners also have similar experience. They are 3 of the best WLS surgeons in the Northeast. Perhaps you may wish to speak to any of them? This is their website: http://www.nomoreobesity.com/ Surgeons: Dr. Kurian, Dr. Shah, and Dr. Roslin. Their office is Super supportive, and they have 2 great insurance ladies there as well that can help you out too. Ok well Good Luck, and keep us posted! ^_^ susie

Hi Bonnie, I would just get a second opinion. Just b/c this one surgeon feels this way doesnt mean another feels the same way. It could be just the level of te*****ue and experience this surgeon is lacking. Just hear what someone else has to say. GOOD LUCK!
