Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi - Here are your answers. Please let me know if I can help you further. 1. What did you think about Dr. Rutledge? GREAT. Full of energy. Knowledgeable and honest. He gave me the attention that I needed and was kind and forthcoming in giving my Hubby details right after my surgery. 2. What did you think about Dr. Rutledge's staff? They were most helpful. I personally had no trouble getting through and emails were answered same day. They are busy folks. At the clinic I met them and they were friendly and knowledgeable. 3. What did you think about the Hospital? Wonderful. After surgery I was only there about 16 hours. They staff was familiar with MGB recovery and knew what I was goning to do before I did 4. How was your experience with the surgery? I remember being wheeled in the OR and being " velcroed " to the table. I went into the OR at 7:10PM and at 9PM I was in the Recovery Room wondering if the Doc was able to do the surgery because I didn't have any pain. I was soon taken to my room where I yelled to my Hubby " I'm alive " . Hehehe 5. How much pain did you have? I did not think it was painfull. The gas after surgery in my shoulder was the only pain I had and it was an uncomfortable feeling not really pain. 6. When did you go back to work? 6 days later including a weekend. 7. How much weight did you lose? As of today 53 1/2 lbs 8. Would you do it again? Certainly would Lynda Merrithew MGB 9/15/00 323/269.50 www.merrithew.com MiniGastricBypass > Hi my name is .
