sorry, but all this tells me.. is RESEARCH, RESEARCH and then do some more

RESEARCH before chosing a surgeon... for ANY TYPE of operation needed.

of course there are complications from gastric bypass surgery, but there are

complications from ANY surgery... anytime anyone decides to open themselves

up... the number ONE danger is always the anestesia....... followed by a host

of others.

it saddened me to read about those stories... but it is to be expected... NOT

in those numbers.. and i for one am certainly a happy camper that DR? Fox

does not have his practice in miami forida, but as far away from here as

physically possible.

patients need to be INFORMED.... surgeons are NOT GOD..... Jesus, i was

married to one... and believe me they can be complete IDIOTS..... but it is

the patients responsibility to do as much background checking as possible....

i even got a list of former patients from my surgeons office and spoke to

EVERONE on that list..... i am a bit neurotic... but i believe its better to

be safe then sorry.
