Needing help

Hi Everyone, For those of you who do know, yes, I know I need professional help, LOL.  My husband is thinking of having the RNY surgery done.  We went to a session today with Dr. Rowitz and wonder if I can get any input on him, please.  If someone could tell me how to research him, I will do it on my own.  I have no clue as to even where to start.  I looked under OH and of course it is mostly good things listed.  I have been told by more than one person to check him out good before we go thru with it.  I had a bad experience with my Dr. and he refuses to go to him.  To make a long story short, my dr. doesn't have a very good bedside manner.   So I am asking if anyone can tell me how to research him, I am willing to do that.  But if you guys have any info that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance, Tammy

Hi Tammy, There's a link at the side of this page that says "Find a Bariatric Surgeon".  Click on that and his name is listed....or here's a link directly http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/SC/a,doclisting/type,46/ Good luck.  You can contact the people listed and get more information from them. 

Never mind what I was going to say I missed the last part of your question.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Dr B.....But IMHO  Dr B has a great bedside manner.  He has been great through this whole experience.  I wasn't gonna say anything but I feel like I had to say something.   I think Dr B is one of the Best, and I guess everyone has a right to their opinion.  I hope your husband does well with whom ever he chooses.   

Hi, I went to a seminar with Dr. R. a few years ago. He seemed nice but would not take a private pay patient. My cousin had surgery and had major complications so I can see why he didn't take self pay.  At that time he did not do LapBand and did not think it would work. just my 2 cents worth.   I hope you find a Dr.  you like.
