Re: [MiniGastricBypass]Clinic Visits

[Guest guest]

Trish,

It depends, but plan on all day. His has a 9:00am group and a Noon group, but

both groups overlap. It is basically an informational gathering session and to

meet with Dr. Rutledge personally, so you can ask he questions (bring a list of

questions if you'd like).

My first clinic visit was in October, so I don't know if anything has changed,

but we watched a video of the actual surgery; then a taped version of Carnie

's surgery. Debbie or Barbara will weigh and measure you, but there was

no physical exam done by Dr. R. One nice thing is you will get to meet others

(pre-ops) in your same situation and also some post-ops (that have just recently

had the surgery).

Overall, his 'clinic' visits are very beneficial. Good luck!
