Duceman: Not sure what might work for you, but I can tell you that I found Dr. Barbara Nath at Mass General and the Surgeon (Chief of Surgery) Dr. David Rattner very knowledgeable and understanding. You could at least consult and see if they see other options for you. My surgery was only two months ago. I have an issue with bread stickng, but other than that I have NO symptoms at this time.
I am out of the office until Wednesday, April 30th, BUT I will be checking e-mail while I am away from the office. If this is an emergency, please contact Mark Peterson at 845-567-5759. Or you can call me on my cell phone 914-399-1555. Thanks!
