Everyone knows going in that this is an extremely perilous procedure, and always presents a potential threat to your life. I've known someone who went through it and turned out okay. It's definitely not an operation that should be undertaken lightly. Those Pats are among the most litigous folks out there, aren't they? And Mass. is even more litigous than Calif.!</p> http://bostonist.com/2007/01/26/your_litigious_pats_the_charlie_weis_gastric_bypass_case.php#comment-995578 http://bostonist.com/2007/01/26/your_litigious_pats_the_charlie_weis_gastric_bypass_case.php#comment-995578 Comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:57:33 -0500 <p>Dr. Hodin performed two abdominal surgeries on me, and he is terrific. I wouldn't go to anyone but him in the future, and I think Weis is just sour grapes. Even I know that gastric bypass is a risky surgery.</p>
