"I get there and his nurse Melinda is great. She took all the fear out and set me up to see Dr. Debord. He comes in and shakes my hand and explains 2 WLS. One is the Roux-en-y and the other is the Duodenal Switch.He draws them out on paper for me and tells me he thinks the DS will be the best for the amount of weight that I need to lose. I agreed with him. He answered all my questions and looked me in the eye while doing it. He never painted a pretty picture or sugar-coated it for me. Don't know about anyone else, but I like that from a doctor when they are straight forward and tell you all the risks up front. He spent 40 to 50 minutes with me and right now I am ready for the surgery today. But there are some things that need to be done first. In the office he said he was sending a letter to my insurance that day. 1-3-06rn"
