Me and a friend from work are going to have this done together. > > Hi, Dana: Go to www. clos.net for the best explanation of the surgery. If necessary, print it out and take it to your PCP, so you can " walk through " the explanation. That's what I had to do, being medical informationally-challenged. I just describe it to friends as having had my " innards rearranged " ! I can't imagine that Dr. R. would turn you away just because you're going through a divorce. The only people I think he would turn away would be people he suspects aren't really informed about what will happen to their bodies after this surgery, or people who appear to be unable to comply with his postop instructions, or people who are mentally, emotionally or physically unable to withstand the changes wrought by having this surgery. Good luck to you, with this surgery and with your divorce. You've got some big changes coming up. Best wishes, Blair MGB 8/9/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
