I had surgery January 18, 2012 at HRRH and Dr Tan was a surgeon who was working there assisting the MIS group of surgeons. He was actually in surgery with Dr Huynh my primary surgeon. There were two others: Dr. Chang & a female doctor, I cannot remember her name... also assisting with follow-ups each day various shifts at the hospital while I was there. They were in addition of course to Dr Glazer and Dr Huynh. Certainly no lack of doctors monitoring me... all were very nice and thorough.

Jo-Anna if you check him out on misgroup he does other surgeries besides bariatrics so that is why he can do surgery alone. He is already a surgeon who is obviously just learning bariatrics. If you look on the cpso website he has been a surgeon for a few years now. Surgeons often don't meet their patients until just before the OR, they review the file before and they ask you questions before you go in. I have had a few surgeries over the years where I didn't meet the surgeon until just before. Have faith in him or ask to be referred to another surgeon if you don't feel comfortable with him. Unless your procedure has anything to do with your RNY, you don' t have to go back to HRRH.
....it's not major surgery...they will open me up to check something out.this has been going on for going on six months now.im lucky to be alive still. Most Active
