Re: Dr. P and Dr R- Donna

[Guest guest]

Donna~

My initial consult with Dr. P was a week BEFORE yours and I still

haven't discovered any lies that were told to me. In addition, with

the glaring exception of ONE single (but major) staff member,

everyone could not have been sweeter. Further, there was NO

audience with me for Dr. P to be 'playing to'.

I go to many doctors in my life and I left there overwhelmed by

her professionalism and the seriousness with which she

approached the matter.

I'm really sorry that things didn't turn out well for you. I

genuinely care about your own WLS experience as you have

been such a valued member of several support groups that I

frequent. However, at some point it would be wise to look at your

own responsiblity for a 'doctor-patient' relationship gone sour.

I'm interested in what OTHER things you have to say, things that

have nothing to do with Dr. P. I think you've made your points well

and that what you wrote will be long remembered. Can we move

on now?

I'm excited for you Donna. I think you re-steered yourself to Dr.

Rabkin so skillfully and you've given me hope that if I need to

redirect me efforts, perhaps that's a resource I too might take.

Good luck Donna. I'm here for any support you need on the

direction you ARE taking but I really can't support the continued

posts about the direction you wisely decided NOT to take.

Bless you.

hugs,

Sorry, but I think your definition of ths group is lacking a tad. The

following paragraph was copied directly from the group files on Yahoo:

<< Description Category: Weight Loss

This list is specifically for people who have had the Distal Gastric

Bypass with a Duodenal Switch or the Biliopancreatic Diversion with

Duodenal Switch. The Duodenal Switch surgery is unique and is being

done by a limited number of surgeons throughout the world. I have

found that our experiences after surgery with food, weight loss,

medical problems, etc is quite different from people who've had other

types of WLS. I created this list so we can address our issues

specifically. If you are interested in having this surgery, you are

also welcome to join! >>

Nowhere does it state that all posts must be happy little fluffy

bunny posts. It says " address our issues. "

And frankly, I find your comment above " Please Use Some Common

Sense! " insulting. For the most part, your posts are informational

and make for interesting reading. Without stooping to make this flame

(personal insults levied), might I suggest you look inward at your

own aversion to anything other than " zipadeedoodah " information. It

is preferable to have all sides of a matter out in the open for one

to see.
