My experience has been that you usually can't trust what you hear from

one Dr. regarding another. If the doc you are asking about is really bad,

the one you're talking to won't say a whole lot (liability issues) but, if they

tell you a Doc is really good... well, sometimes it just means that they

talked to the guy at a seminar and liked him. They also know surprisingly

little

about each other's practices.

I recently posted about a surgeon here in Houston (who only does VBG)

that told a patient they could only get RNY done at a small outlying suburban

hospital by a doctor that he " didn't even know if he was certified. "

If you want to know.... ask the doc's office .... then follow up with

other patients.

They don't want to admit to a mistake.

Re: washington state revision

Some docs will not revise their OWN, actually. That is

bizarre.

Dr. Oh did my revision on 9/26/02 and he was not my original surgeon. There

are quite a few Oh-revisions here actually.

I was told that Dr Oh would not do revisions on anyone he did not do

originally. This is what I have heard from Dr. in Portland. My

present doc finally did the revision on me, though he did not do the

original surgery. My original surgeon is no longer doing WLS and is

in California, not where I live now. What are the legal issues re:

doing surgery on someone elses patient? Is it unethical?

This is patently untrue. I have been to him about a revision myself

(Weber in Seattle was my original surgeon) and my friend

(Simonowitz in Bellevue was her original surgeon) has been to him about

a revision too. Your doctor in Portland was trying to keep your

business, I would guess. Of course it's not unethical to operate on

someone else's patient (IMO) if you have that patient's informed consent

and there's medical necessity. I would say it's unethical to lie about

another surgeon's practice, though. Dr. Oh does many revisions and very

few of them are for his own patients.

I live in Georgia and was one the messes that Vitalady talked about Dr Oh

repairing. I am fine now, and he revised me two years ago.
