This must be taken on a case by case basis with docs.
My surgeon requires you to see him every week before
surgery and every week for the 1st month after
surgery. Then at least once a month for the first year
and every 3 months after that. And after surgery, you
never pay a copay again because he wants all of his
patients to come to all of their follow-up
appointments. He even makes you sign a contract
agreeing to go to all of them. I know people that are
7, 10 or more years out and go back to see him often.
I have not studied enough about the MGB to judge its
validity as a good weight-loss surgery but I will
start soon because my Mom is looking into different
kinds of surgery and dr rutledge has contacted her. I
wouldn’t want her to do any kind of surgery that I

don’t feel is the best for her.
