Hi, Anita:

Dr. Rutledge has only been doing this surgery a bit longer than 3 years

(correct me if I'm wrong, anybody!). Even that short a time out, the earlier

preops have lost their weight and gone on with their lives, or so it seems.

I also tried to contact some of the very early ones, and found it hard to get

in touch with them.

But don't stop trying. Go to the patient contact list on www.clos.net, and

start checking around. Dr. Rutledge used to send out a patient contact list

with phone numbers. You might email him to see whether he still sends that

out.

Good luck to you!
