Hello Bill - I'm so glad your second bout with surgery went well. I'm sorry to hear about your complications and I can only imagine how difficult it must be to have to "heal and recover" twice from an Open RNY. I only went through that ride once and gotta' admit, it wasnt something I'd wanna repeat again any time soon. Major kudo's on the Dr.(Imjustinitforthemoney) Phil comment. I've been accused of being a "polynesian-redneck" a time or two in my life and you're right, even I wouldnt have the gonads or stupidity to say something I knew nothing about. I suggest the man actually GO THROUGH an operation (he could stand to lose a few pounds, dontcha think?) ...and then after he's truly walked in our shoes and laid on our operatin' table, maybe THEN he can start spouting off opinions? ...Good luck on your second road to recovery, I hope it was smoother then your first. Hugs and Smiles -
