Guest guest Posted September 30, 2000 Report Share Posted September 30, 2000 How long did it take you to finally get a date from step one to know? I'm extremely curious. And, by the way, congratulations! Kaufmann My e-mail is K911@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 Hi , I have been researching weight loss surgery for over a year. I told a friend about the open RNY I was scheduled to have. She was also morbidly obese. She did her own research and stumbled upon to Dr. Rutledge's web site. She had the surgery 8/22. She called me on her cell phone leaving the hospital the next day. I was skeptical until then because like I said I was already scheduled for the open RNY. But, she sounded so enthusiastic and wonderful on the phone I ran home and got on the computer to check it out. So the whole process only took me a month. I canceled my other surgery and my insurance had already approved me for the open so I didn't have to wait long. I worked day and night on my packet. I was scheduled for the open 10/9 so I wanted it the same week since I was already planning to be out of work at that time. I felt I was on a time schedule. Lucky for me-that week was still available- I only have to wait three more days- who cares? I am still having the procedure the same week. I am soooooooo excited. By the way, during the process I had to change physicians. I am still going to the same clinic but the doctor I used prior wasn't an on-call doc. So, I had to go switch and go to my parent's physician who by the way is wonderful and very very supportive. Good luck in your quest of finding a supportive physician. I know you will... Just have faith and be strong. Terri K MGB 10/12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
