PLEASE READ!!! LICENCE SUSPENED!!
I am glad you found out instead of wasting more time and especially before having your surgery. If Dallas is not too far for you I know I was very happy with my experience there with Dr. Kim and his staff.
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
I came back and re-read this and I so understand what you are going through! My original surgeon kept trying to PUSH me into lapband and I wanted RNY. He kept putting me off for months and months! I even went through all of his evals, consults and classes. FINALLY after 4 months he had his nurse call me to say he was not longer doing rny's!! He couldn't have told me this back in Jan of '09 that he no longer wanted to do rny's?!?!?! I was heart broken and so disappointed. I finally found a surgeon who would work with me and my disappointments. Like many of my friends here on OH kept telling, it all happened for a reason and I found the right doc for me! Most other surgeons will take all the classes and evals you have already done.
I will live each day in the mindful present

It will be interesting to find out the reason for the suspension. It could be substance abuse, prescribing controlled substances inappropriately, etc., or it could be that he had an affair with a patient. If it was the latter, shame on him, but it wouldn't make him a bad choice for a surgeon.
If he were in Iowa, I would be able to look him up. I'll try it in LA and see what I come up with.

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Actually, if he is having sexual relationships with patients, that would make him a bad choice for a surgeon. There are reasons, very good reasons, why doctors are not allowed to have sexual relationships with patients. And it shows very poor judgment if a doctor does it anyway. I personally want a surgeon that has good judgment.

Well you're right about it being poor judgement, but that wouldn't necessarily make him a bad surgeon. Unfortunately, many (most?) men think with their lower brains.
But I did find that he has substance abuse problems.
