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?!

.......hospital politics among other things......he is told what to

do by superiors. Last I heard, OHSU did NOT want to expand the bariatric

dept and that was Welkers dream. They even did not provide him with his

own office and he had to carry around his patients paperwork in his

briefcase everywhere he went!

He is glad to be out of there!!
