DR HERRON IS A GENTLEMAN,

He will give you the BPD/DS...if you want, and meet all the medical

parameters. He will mention that it is a tougher surgery, with more

risk. He will ask you again if you want the RNY or BPD...and why! He

does seem to favor the RNY, because it is less complex and drastic.

He does NOT do distal RNY, and does not even like to do medial. He is

a very conservitive surgeon, low key and skilled. This is exactely

what I wanted. Not so gung-ho LAP ONLY, that when he ran into a tough

spot, he opened me up with a 3 and 3/4 inch incision, that healed and

felt just like a Lap incision, and ripped my gallblader out, retooled

my inards, took his sweet time (7 1/2) hours and told my wife it was

just BEAUTIFUL!! The biggest problem was HIS back was killing him

from such a long surgery.

You are in fabulous hands, enjoy your BPD/DS....see ya at the medium

size rack at Macys.........no, I do not wear womens clothes ?
