Jacquie, Hi. I am scheduled for an open RNY with Dr. Sabback on March 18, 2002. I have never been to Trident hospital but as soon as I can, I will email you and let you know how things go for me during and after surgery. I did go to Trident for pre-op stuff last week, all I can say about that--- SLOW!!! I waited over 90 minutes just to be registered. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
