Are you talking about Dan Procter in Gainesville, Ga? If so, he usually does the open RNY, but I don't know if he would do what you're interested in. Call his office and ask to speak to Millie- she will tell you. You can usually get her in the PM. Good luck! Dr. Procter did my surgery Mon and I am up and around with minimal discomfort this morning- open RNY. He's terrific, and so is Millie, Joy and Wayne- I'm so glad I didn't go to a DR. that just slices and dices.

Hi- I haven't had my surgery yet, but I did go to the information meeting that he had this month and he was warning people to stay away from doctors that did the mini bypass surgery, saying that it was one of the more dangerous ones. I think that if he is that against it, he wouldn't perform it, but I guess you could check. To my knowledge he only does two surgeries, the lap-band and RNY and his preferred is RNY. He only does the lap-band if your body could not stand the RNY, like heart problems or something, or if you couldn't be under anethesia long.
