Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Dear LCP, I was Dr 's first DS in private practice on 1/23/01. Dr is fairly new to an established Bariatric (RNY) office. The office policies were in effect before Dr. got there; not to say that she wouldn't use these same tests if she had her own office. In my exhaustive weight loss surgery research the only group of surgeons that I found that do not require a psych evaluation is the OHSU group. Bariatric surgeons across the country - DS, RNY, VGB, Lapband etc. uniformly require these evaluations. I'm not saying it's right or needed in every case but it is more the norm to do these tests than not. What this brings me to is the whole " God Complex " issue when referring to Dr. . After trusting her to perform my flawless Lap LG/DS and getting to know her personally you couldn't be more wrong about her. She is an honest, straightforward, professional and kind human being. As far as her Lap surgical skills go I think she right up there with the best in the country and we will be hearing about her for many years to come. I wish you luck on your weight loss surgery journey if this is what you really want.
