O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted July 18, 2012 My dads wife had RNY at Beaumont. She had a very hard time with her recovery. But I do have to say she looks a lot better now & is a lot healthier. Granted this is a different procedure. Unless policies have changed, Beaumont uses surgeons from Sierra Medical Center to do these surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodswife 155 Posted July 18, 2012 Cool me too did u have Dr rice I did have dr rice. I'm mad that he is deployed now because I really don't care for dr Shriver. He doesn't let you get a word in edgewise and always makes you feel like you are doing something you aren't. I always feel rushed when I have my appointments and he just makes me feel like I'm going to fail. I'm 53lbs down and had surgery April 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted July 19, 2012 This thread is bringing back so many memories for me. I was an Army brat, dad was air defense so I have so many fond memories of El Paso & Tacoma areas. Anybody care to throw in Würzberg, Hanau, or Wertheim? Oh yeah, if your in El Paso and need automotive work, my dad's shop is Jerry's Automotive on Dyer st. That's my shameless plug. 1 P.J.Rox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
