Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Yep--a sure way to " skew " with the results of a surgery you don't want to promote. THis would be the same thing I would be concerned about with the " blind study thing " --just what are the belief systems of the docs performing the surgeries?

Given his attitude, > I do not think Dr Deviny should be doing weight loss surgery. > AJ adds: >I hope he's paying for the mistake to be fixed..... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would sue for medical malpractice! Talk to a good lawyer and see what your options are! Someone posted that this surgeon doesn't believe in weight loss surgery...then why the heck is he performing them?! I wonder how many other patients he made this awful mistake on?! How many other post-op patients of Dr. Deviny's are mentally beating themselves up because they aren't losing the weight they thought they would?! Hmmm...makes you wonder doesn't it?!
