Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 Hi Steph, I'm from RI, there is a dr in Providence who does the lap. I chose not to go to him because he doesn't offer any support services, like on staff psyc & nutritionist and no support group meetings. I know someone who had his surgery and she is very pleased, I also had a dear friend who had a consult with him and left in tears. From what he said to my friend and from what I've heard from others, if you are not too heavy he's ok, if you are really large, he is rude and egotistical. He actually told my friend that he does not like to operate on large people. Take that as hearsay, for what its worth... I'm a Dr. Thayer patient and am very happy with my decision! Lyssa, I just put a pen and some labels in my pocket to make nametags! See ya, b. Hi , I'm in NH. I'll be at Dr Thayer's meeting tonight as will a lot of others. I had Dr. Shikora and the stress of the wait is not worth it. I am told there is another Dr on the rhode island border who does lap rny as well. I don't know anything about him but maybe the other here can peep in and give you his name...Good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
