Questions !

Hello Everyone from SD-- my sister is looking into gastric bypass-- she is scheduled for her 1st dr appt with Bradley Thaemert on Nov 5th. What's the scoop? Has any one used him that reads the postings? How many surgeries had he done? # of complications? any gastric leaks? how many deaths? bedside manners? I had my lap RNY on 12-10-03 and feel wonderful, but I had mine in Little Rock AR with Dr Mark Gibbs. My surgeon, as I am sure most people feel, is awesome. His creditials are great-He teaches new Dr's along with the fact that he learned from Dr Ozmond who perfected the Roux N Y the way it is done today- I want to make sure that my sister is going to a experienced Dr of gastric bypasses. We had some local dr's here that got on the band wagon and had horrible complications with their patients including multiple deaths. I am down 143 lbs now and am at goal weight. I would love for my sister to feel the same freedoms that I now have-- freedom from feeling like crap all of the time & having no energy. My sister also have extreme joint pain and fibromyaga? Not sure of spelling. Anyway- any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Have a great day! Tanya
