"I went in wanting a sleeve, ended up with RNY...and it's been the best thing I ever did. Had open surgery, but even though recovery was hard, I've had zero problems...the FIRST time ever. Most surgeries I have some kind of healing problem. Not this one. Everything worked the way it was supposed to. Yes, the first few weeks are tough, but that is just getting used to the new body. Pain was very minimal, and Dr S has been great. He takes time to answer questions, doesn't act phony and all smiley, treats me with respect. I don't want a new buddy, I want a surgeon who knows his stuff, has done a lot of it, and gets the job done. His office staff is wonderful, and I have no complaints. Show me any of the other surgeons in the area that attend the group meeting! "
