Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Central North Carolina. The interview was positive, but they made several mistakes about the MGB. When they showed what is done to the stomach that was wrong. They also said several things that implied that the RNY and the MGB's statistics and results were similar. They also said that what is done to the stomach is similar. I wish they had compared the death rates, for example. They did say the hospital stay was only one day for the MGB and four to five days for the RNY. They also gave a price comparison which made the MGB look good. They had a doctor who does the RNY and he really tried to make the RNY sound good and acted like the MGB was experimental and risky. I though Dr. Dasher was much more classy than that. He never criticized the other surgeries and, in fact, encouraged everybody to research all the options before they made a decision. Go Dr. Dasher! Overall the story was pretty positive about WLS in general. in NC Markham Lee <markham1951@...> wrote: What market (City) is Fox 8?? janicew198 <janicew198@...> wrote: Just a reminder.....the MGB interview & surgery will air tomorrow night, 2/22 on the FOX8 news at 10:00 with Jeff Varner.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 You looked beautiful Shann. They chose a good spokesperson! I'd loved to have seen your son close up when you two were playing in the yard. Hope we can get together soon, although it's not worked out when we've tried, let's keep trying! Love, Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Lol I thought the story looked good. I tried to speak positively about our surgery and mention the death rates but they edited it short. Shann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
