Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am looking for RD's opinion on patients seeking RNY who have BMI's in the high 30's along with co-morbid coditions that could be resolved with 10 - 15% weight loss. In these cases I'm not quite sure about over stepping my boundary and telling the patient that he/she could possibly lose the necessary weight along with some supervision. My biggest concern is that 1 out of 100 patients could die from complications and I don't want to put a patient at risk who really does not need surgery. What's everyone's opinion on this?
