Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 If you speak of Dr Walter Pories, haling from Greenville NC.. he is retired as of jan 2001.. he no longer performs surgery of anykind.. and the ECU bariatric treatment center in Greenville, NC.. is opposed to the DS.. period.. Don't ask me why.. it is a valid surgery.. Both times that I have called there to see if someone performs it, I have been told adamantly no.. nor will they ever.. Sounds to me as if their minds are closed to progress.. and if that is the case, why in the world would I want them to cut on me?
