August 12th
hi jane, my name is patricia and i also have a surgery date on August 12th, i am soooooooo excited, i am counting down the weeks, exactly (7) from today. i am having mine (Lap) in Nashville, Tn. with Dr. William Richards. i go this Thursday for my (first) nutritional meeting which i am looking forward to. Dr. Richards requires all of his patients to go through (4) of these meetings. (2) before surgery and (2) after surgery to teach you how to eat with your new stomach. it,s a $250.00 out of pocket expense but i,m sure it,s well worth it. "Best Wishes" on your surgery, i pray that you have a speedy recovery free from any problems and complications....................Patricia.
