Interesting... Middletown Journal
To me this is an interesting read and TO ME really sounds like a free ad for the band doc. PLEASE RESEARCH ALL WLS to find the right WLS for YOU and then RESEARCH all the docs on your insurance to find the right one for you.

Gee, Robin,
I'm looking around on the floor around me but don't see any piles of muscles, bone, or hair...this doc sounds like he runs a one-size-fits-all business. I never did find anything that claimed to be one size fits all to work for everyone. (pantyhose manufacturers were partcularly LIARS!!!)
My research said (as the UC doc said) the surgery has to fit the patient's needs. I hope folks do their research and pick what's best for them, even if it meand visiting more than one practice to find what suits you.

WTF! The surgeon basically called those of us who didn't have a band "Crazy and Insane"
Nice publicity asshole.
Maybe I should put up an article stating that surgeons who can't perform gastric bypassed are unskilled and incompitent because they can't properly inform their patients in basic aftercare.
(Which I would never say... Doesn't even mention how lapband isn't the right choice for people with GERD)
uggh.... I'm going to dig into this more when I have time.
Might post it on the RNY and R&R boards while I'm at it.
