Yes, I had my open rny at Pacific Bariatric in San Diego in Oct. 2001. I had Dr. Rumsey just like you do and I have the greatest admiration for him, his staff and the staff at Scripps/Mercy hosp. My surgery went smoothly and on time and I had no problems afterward either. Out of all the surgeons there, I like Dr. Rumsey the best. You are in good hands with him!!!! PS: I have lost 215 lbs already and am at my goal. Good luck to you too!!!!!

I have surgery 3-20-2002 at Pacific Bariatrics, thru Kaiser, with Dr.Leo Murphy. My experience was wonderful. THe staff at PB and Mercy handled everything, Dr. Murphy is very loving, makes me feel like his daughter. Would go in again tomorrow if Ihad to. Good Luck

Hi Joann, Its Erick from your work, I used to work in the same department as you. I am 2 weeks post-op from LapRNY at PB with Dr. Tanaka. Call me at work and I'll tell you about my experience in SD. All Good! I'm at x7559 in SAC. Best wishes.

I also had my surgery at Pacific Bariatric in June of 2001 and just like my husband, Doug (his comment is below), I have only praise for this group of doctors and nurses and their staff. Did you know that they have a website? Go to: www.pacificbariatrics.com. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. \

Oh I am so happy that your surgeon will be Dr. Rumsey! He is the BEST! I have had the most positive experience ever. I couldnt have had an easier time of it or a more perfect scare or anything! He made me feel comfortable and he is so encouraging! I had surgery on 9-26-02 and have lost 53 pounds! I am so happy! I must say the change in eating habits is an adjustment but it is getting better each and every day. Good luck on your surgery and try not to worry. Rumsey Rocks! LOL Take care!
