Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Well said Blair.. I wanted to say it also and could not have said it better. I was amazed that folks would have the audacity, the unmitigated gall, to criticize the doctor on his own list! Its is very evident that he reads some of the posts. I want to second Blair's warning to keep your comments to yourself.

You may not like the way he runs his ship. But it's HIS ship. I'm not crazy about some of the things he does, but I see the reasons behind them, I respect them, and I follow his rules. And I'm healthy, I'm losing weight, and I'm exercising every day. And I could not have picked another surgeon. He was the only surgeon for me. Here endeth the lesson. xoxo Blair MGB 8/9/00 >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 HIYA GWEN, Don't blame you for being shocked so was I.. but then we have met the Dr. R. and we know, don't we, LOL Trudy Re: A sermon from Blair Well said Blair..

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Blair, I could not agree with your posting more. If you cannot follow the rules before surgery, then why should he risk you! He has more than enough people who want him, a candidate should appeal to his sense of how proud he will be when you return to a wonderful, productive life. If you bug him like crazy before surgery, why should he want to hear about every gripe that you have after. This is serious business. People who are after a quick fix should make other arrangements. This is a life style change. Yesterday, at day 21 I went thru the grocery store and put anything in my cart that I thought might taste good. The cart got about half full and my husband asked why I bought such strange stuff. Trial and error!!! Crab spead on crackers great, cranberry salad metallic. This is not a Dr. R. problem, just my new life. I have lost over 15 pounds at day 22 and I cannot say enough about the surgery or Dr. R's process. THE PROCESS IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE PRODUCT!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 wonderfully done Blair, couldn't have said it better myself. I know some people do not like the good doctor's choices, but he is the 'captain of his (OR) ship' and has made descisions that are his right to make. period. He's a very smart cookie that one!
