Dr. R. Looks very good - you write well!! I give it an A-. Just remember

that if you single space the text you double space between paragraphs and if

you double space you indent five spaces for paragraphs!!! Geez, always

the teacher!!! Sorry! Are there going to be illustrations toward the

bottom where all the text is off to the left? Go wow them!!

I am so please he added the last item regarding extensive education a-

--follow up. I am so amazed when I read other post ops(I mean Other

drs patients) and some seem so clueless,bragging about eating this

and doing that.....(things DR R PROHIBITS.like drinking alcohol etc)

No wonder his patients(DR R's ) do so well. He could not have left

that off. I think it should be #1 personally....but then again

leaving it last gives them something to think about .....

Do you have time to show any more visuals?ie pre and post op patients

in a quick slideshow demonstrating how quickly the whole

perioperative phase goes?

THAT is impressive.....

Hi,

Alot of your stuff is coming out like this.

Leak

Leak is one of the most

feared complications of

gastric bypass. It can be

protean in its

manifestations and lethal

if not treated

expeditiously. In this

series of Mini-Gastric

Bypass the overall rate of

leaks was 1.7%. This

rate declined markedly

throughout the series.

This rate compares

favorably to other

reported series.

All on one side....

but it looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!
