<< The process to have this surgery seems so complicated

or is it just me?

I would love to hear from anyone that could give me

some advice about anything you want to share with

someone that is just beginning to think about it.

As you might know I'm very nervous and my husband

thinks it is to drastic but then of course he's the

same size as the day I met him and can eat anything

and everything without a worry in the world.

Please help me ?

Yes the process is difficult. You will ,if you havn't already, be contacted

by an ex-patient of his who's so deathly ill,she has time to harrass and

threaten others with lawsuits,etc. You will get angry at Dr. Rutledge for

making you go through everything,and just when you think you've completed the

packet,something may change in the requirements! This surgery isn't for

everyone. It isn't for someone looking for a quick fix or a miracle " Barbie "

body. There is give and take. I would encourage you to read about it,look at

it from every angle...including the " truth " site. Research all you can about

the Billroth2,Roux-en-Y and Mason Loop.Understand this is a Modified

Billroth2,not a Mason loop. Educate yourself.Heck make an appointment with a

local surgeon,get his opinion.Do whatever it takes for you to feel good about

your decision(whatever you decide). It's a big decision and deserves your

time. Dr.R's numbers and stats are VERY good, and 1 reason is because of this

pre-op process. There are easier ways to lose weight,and in my opinion,not as

safe. But that's 1 persons opinion.No one person should influence you about

your body. Good luck in your research and decision.As questions arise you can

always bring them here,or e-mail me privately.
