"I have only met my surgeon twice. He seems to really know what he is doing, and was very accomodating getting me a date for surgery. His staff is very knowlegable and helpful. So far as I know, Dr. Elliott is the only doctor at my hospital that is doing the laproscopic RNY, so I feel lucky to have had him assigned to me. He sent me to a pre-op nutrition appointment, and I will have follow up as well with the nutritionist. He was very helpful in showing me how the surgery is performed, and what to expect, and that yes there are risks, but there also risks in not having the surgery too. Overall he had a good bedside manner- which is important- he was not your typical surgeon, he actually had a personality ;0), and seemed very open to questions and concerns, and addressed them all. I can honestly say, so far I have nothing negetive to say. the process has moved so quickly, I have not had any trouble so far."
