What if the surgen you picked allowed someone else to do your surgery without your knowledge?

I researched and researched my surgen for a year. I wanted a member of the American Society of Bariatric surgens to do my surgery. I found a surgen who was a member and has done thousands of RNY's. Well I had my RNY 7 months ago and have had nothing but problems with it, but I trusted my surgen. Finally I went to get a copy of my operative report and found out that she didn't even do my surgery, she only assisted. A cardio-thoracic surgen did it. I know nothing about him and never even was told about him before surgery. I don't know how many RNY's he ever did, his track record or anything. And the only way I found this out is because I went to the hospital and go my report. My bariatric surgen has lied to me all along, saying that she did my surgery. With all the problems I've have had with surgery, should I seek legal advice? Please help?
