Question:
OMG Dr Kuhn died in July 2014 but I am scheduled for RNY 08/28/14

The office has not told me of his death. Does any one know about his partner Dr Henke. I am angry! They told me he was ill and was taking a month off, this really hurts my courage with a new surgeon. I am under two weeks away, this is so wrong!    — Awillis (posted on August 16, 2014)

OK, sanity finally returned to me as the day went on. Yes, I am still upset about the death of my surgeon, that has not changed. He was such a good, decent, reputable man and surgeon that was why I researched so hard to find him. My heart goes out to his family and staff. It must be very devastating for them. I cannot imagine! Their lives have been turned upside down and will never be the same. I feel ashamed of how I overreacted on some levels. As all of us know whenever you have to have surgery of any kind it is so imperative to have a surgeon that you trust as this is no joking matter, people have died from weightloss surgeries before for a variety of reasons. My gut reaction was I do not want to be one of those who dies. I am putting on my big girl panties and going to meet with his partner as planned and begin my trust journey with him. I am sure my doc trained him well and he had better be watching from heaven when I have my surgery!!!!
