"I met Dr Ren in January for my pre-op consultation. I love her direct, no nonsense approach. If you are someone who likes to be coddled and told that surgery is the "magic pill" that you've been waiting for then Dr Ren isn't the surgeon for you. If you want to hear the truth, that even with the surgery you are responsible for your progress she is wonderful. I'm scheduled for 3/20/03 for lap distal RNY at NYU with Dr Ren."
