"The food delivered to me was not sugar free, being ignorant and feeling my surgeon was on top of things, I didn't question it. The A/C was broken, I was miserable for four days. They should have moved me. I never quite got the morphine drip down pat. The anesthetic made me STOOPID"

Dr. Nguyen seemed like a very confident Doctor. If you get a chance, go to: http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/
Do a search on "Matrix", it is a publication and it has an article on Dr. Nihn Nguyen. He is extremely interesting fellow and it gives you insight to his personality.
I also learned that you do not have a choice of lap at UCDMC (you do have a choice if you just want open.) If you desire lap, you join the study, in the study they ramdomly perform lap vs. open on different people, so knowing which you will get is not always known far in advance (usually at your second visit you'll know). You will not get lap just because you ask for it. If you want lap 100%, best idea is to go to a Hospital that just performs lap.
6/21- I was officially chosen for LAP, this will cut my recovery time in HALF."
