Maybe all other Doctors are possessed by that old green monster called

jealousy and envy. They're just bummed out cuz they didn't come up with it

first but our wonderful angel Dr. R. did.

I also agree that once a member of this list, always a member of this list.

You're stuck with us no matter what. We stick like glue thru thick or thin;

thru Open RNY or MGB. We become lightweights together.

Pam,

I truly believe that Dr. R will not have as hard of a time as he thinks (are

you listening Dr. R) His results over the past two years have been

remarkable. Believe me I looked and checked him out long before I posted to

this group. His reputation is very good. I think because what he is doing

is different, But if any of the docs read this list, they would find that

Dr.R's patients are the best informed patients that exist. I think Dr. R.

will blow them away at the conference, and have Docs lining up to learn his

techique.

Just my opinion.

Robynn
