I definitely found myself doing that at the Bastyr Teaching Clinic - and the pts didnt come back. <br/><br/>The pts who did come back were the ones who I said, 'See you in a week and we'll address the pre-op strategies' or 'See you in 2 weeks and we will discuss food re-introduction.'<br/><br/>I like to keep my ranch going so Im keepin my cows.<br/><br/>Best<br/>Ben Thanks Dan.

The pts who did come back were the ones who I said, ‘See you in a week and we’ll address the pre-op strategies’ or ‘See you in 2 weeks and we will discuss food re-introduction.’
