Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 I can't believe I had an appointment with Dr. C and then stumbled on Dr. R's site and decided to go mgb. I'm so thankful. I also met a girl to day who had open roux-n-y in Mobile, Al with Dr. Snow two weeks ago. She says she never received post op diet information, instructions to take vitamins and supplements other than a daily vitamin once a day. You know that is really scary that some of these surgeons who are bashing Dr R seem not to care one bit about their patients after the fact! my 2 cents!
