Maybe I am missing something here but it does not seem that they

could just pull your doctor and have another one do the surgery

unless you agreed to it. If so, why would she have agreed to have a

surgeon who is not an experienced bariatric surgeon do it? If it

were me I would postpone surgery until I could find another doctor.

If they switched doctors without her agreement to do so, I think she

would have a large lawsuit pending.

Shirley-

That is exactly what they did to me. I chose Dr. Welker as my

surgeon, saw him the day of surgery, and found out weeks later

that Dr. Welker did not do any part of my surgery, but that Dr.

Deveney (clifford) did my surgery.

According to Dr. Welker, there is something on the informed consent

saying that Dr. Welker OR SOMEONE HE DESIGNATES will be doing the

surgery. I guess that is why they can do that.
