Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 what about patients who have insurance and medicare to cover 100% of the cost of the surgery and cannot afford to lay out the money up front plus the cost of traveling to and from North Carolina and the cost of a motel room to stay in town for the duration of the process because not all over wieght people can do all of this and they still need your help!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 HI, I print out the manual fine except the boxes are empty. That's the same problem someone else is having. When I look on screen the boxes are empty. in Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2000 Report Share Posted September 2, 2000 Hey guys, Dr.R is doing a great job, but lets not leave God out of the picture. God is with this man through every surgery he does, also he gives us the knowledge. Its awesome and a miracle that this doctor can do this surgery with such skill. God is in the picture with him, and I know he has a super being helping him through each surgery. Keep up the great job Dr. R, I beleive all things was meant to be, and God has blessed you with this wonderful talent.
