Question:
Does anyone know if Dr. Needleman at OSU does distal or proximal, or is each patient

determined individually?    — Jay C. (posted on June 25, 2002)

Mary Hughes is right, Dr. Needleman evaluates each patient individually. My surgery was more distal than proximal, I started at 302, and I'm down 102 pounds since 9/21/01, my surgery date. My impression is that he is thorough, cautious, compassionate and very, very busy! Good luck, Jay.
