Netta- I saw your most recent update, and it sounds like you are well on your way. I just wanted to let you know that Dr. Lane was my surgeon, and I think he's amazing. BTC was very good to me. I had RNY 9/5/01 & I've lost about 160 pounds. I didn't have any complications, and I'd do it again in a minute. Dr. Lane is a perfectionist and very concerned with his patient's well-being. You'll be in good hands. Best of luck to you!
