New Manual

[Guest guest]

OK OK,

It has taken all weekend but I think the new Manual is in pretty good shape.

http://clos.net/patient-manual.htm

and

http://clos.net/get_patient_manual.htm

It is big and will take a while to download so be patient.

More new stuff is coming.

New requirements:

1) Have to have a non-work email address (i.e. like a hotmail or other)

2) We will not send out any more manuals (we have been paying over $2500.00

per month just to print them!)

3) No more " Redos " We will not do revisions of other weight loss surgery

except in very very rare cases.

4) Starting in September we will require a cash deposit from all patients.

Refundable when/if your insurance company pays its bill. (On review, lots of

insurance companies are not paying their bills, surprise.)
