Hi

I had my first meet yesterday with Dr Warnock who thinks that i would be a good candidate for RYN Bypass (revision from sleeve).

I just wanted to connect with anyone else who has has Dr Warnock for information, outcome and expectations.

I don't know of Dr. Warnock, but Baylor Dallas has a pretty solid weight loss surgery program that is worth considering- if you really want the RNY.

It might be a good idea to consider several surgeons, as well as to consider aftercare. I know that Dallas is far away from you, but as a large city hospital they have the ability to pull in specialists and resources should anything go wrong. You would already be in their system with a known entity.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes that would be too far for me because of some of our other commitments right now.

But, you raise a good point regarding looking at other surgeons. I thought I was restricted in choice of surgeon due to our insurance which is Tri-Care Prime.

According to the surgeons office manager (the one who deals with all the paperwork to the insurance co) it looks like I will get the op if I want it.

Can I change my mind about the surgeon even if they have done some work towards the surgery...for example, blood work and upper GI?

There is something not sitting right with me right now about this little journey so far.
