I know from experience that Dr Herron will PUSH the RNY. I have changed

surgeons to Dr Macura.

I had surgery with Dr. Herron Dec. 1 2000. I am down 108 pounds and I was

very prepared when I went to him. He never tried to talk me into the RNY and

I found him very skilled. I like him alot and find him compassionate and

very honest. Ellen(Pam
