"I recently switched to Dr. Raftopouls in May. I had some complications since March 2008 (not all due to WLS) where it was in my best interests to switch WLSurgeons.rnrnDr. Raftopoulous is thorough, very direct, and informative. I had thought I knew alot about my RNY until he educated me more so.rnrnHe is not a \"warm & fuzzy type of Dr.\" He is very witty and approachable however if you're looking for a more \"personal\" relationship than he may not fit what you're looking for.rnrnI wish I had met him or knew about him 3 years ago... He would have been my choice in a surgeon & after care. rnrnHe has restructured my eating of proteins & carbs (mostly due to my current internal system's state) I feel so much better & I know it's due to Dr. Raft knowing the RNY surgery and it's functions so well. rnrnI trust him with my health & on going med care.rnrnHi staff is friendly, encouraging, and respectful. Professional in their approach & interactions with you. It's refreshing.rnrnHe does have support group meetings, however I have not attended to date.. I do plan on going in the near future.on the situation. rnrn"
