Brent Bruderer
"Update 07/23/00 <br><br> I have only spoken with Dr. Bruderer over the phone, but when I called his office for more information on the procedure, the receptionist immediately transfered me to his nurse, and when I explained why I was calling, she immediately transfered me to the Doctor himself!!! I was very impressed with that. It is hard enough to speak with the nurse MUCH LESS the Doctor!! He was very informative on what the procedure is. He gave me a brief background of his training with Dr. Fobi. That helped to put me at ease with him. I will post more here after I meet with him at the consult, which, to the best of my understanding is going to be FREE...YES..I said FREE!!!! *S* <br><br> Update 07/25/00 <br><br> I have met with Dr. Bruderer now, and he appears to be very honest and he knows what he is talking about. He basically told me what to expect from the procedure and what I would need to do afterwards as well as WHY some people do NOT succeed after having the procedure. He gave me a time line for what would need to happen from here on til after the procedure. Upon speaking with him, he did give his reasons on why he thinks the FOBI is the WLS to choose. I understand that this is MY decision, but I do agree with him that this is the procedure that I want done. He did explain the differences between the popular RNY and FOBI. I am not too hip on the RNY. He also explained why the FOBI should not be done laproscopically. Since he is a lap surgeon, I would have to agree with him. There are too many little details that need to be verified inside the body that sometimes and most times cannot be done laproscopically. I do not mind having the scar on my abdomen as that is by far a very small price to pay for having a healthy future to look forward to. Post-op, I will post my opinion of his skills for anyone wishing to select him as their surgeon. Till Then...*S* Stay Safe <br> <br> Update 12-16-00<br><br> Ok...so let me talk about Dr. B. HE IS THE GREATEST!!! I could not have asked for a better surgeon. He is so encouraging also. I just went for my three month and he is happy with the results thus far. The scarring is minimal also. His wife is awesome as well. I think Margie handles all of the people issues while he concentrates on the technical aspects of the procedure. I think that is a great plan of attack at anything. Thanks for everything!! "
