Susan, I am doing great and extremely pleased. I have 3 other friends here that also went to Dr. Rod. We are all very happy. Even though we had our surgeries in November and February....he is still available to us by phone as is his assistant Barbara. She just helped us with something recently. We think they are both great. Being in the medical field...I know that all surgeons have mortalities or patients that don't do well. After 25 years in the business, I don't know of many who don't or haven't...if they tell you otherwise...I'd worry.
I don't know all of the circumstances with that particular patient. All of us who are morbidly obese have risk factors and some more than others. Surgery always has risks, but so does morbid obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes. The choice is personal, but our experience was nothing but positive.Caren
