Hi Lynnda!
First of all.... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show. You and Toni are so relaxed with who you are and have such a great friendship between you. I just recently found your show, so I spent a Saturday a few weeks ago watching every episode, one right after the other! So now, I have one complaint...... there aren't enough of episodes and I have to wait a week for each new one... boooooo!
Keep up the good work. The information is great!

Topic: RE: Good plastic surgeon???
I used Dr. Capraro in Denver for breast lift and penniculactomy (sp?). I am extremely happy with his work and will do my arms when I have enough money. He is very knowledgeable, was recommended by my surgeon a friend in my support group. He went above and beyond during both surgeries. Very sensitive to feelings of WLS patients. Has excellent staff.
Good luck!

Topic: RE: Patients of Dr. Quaid/Dr. Holloway please reply
I have not used either doctor, just wanted to say how impressed I was with the hospital in Scottsbluff when my mother had to have her kidney removed there due to cancer.
Topic: RE: Surgeon to Re-do Surgery
i had a VBG (Stomach Stapling) done in 1999 by a general surgeon, and was sent home with no instructions at all. Needless to say, I lost some, but in the long run I wasn't sucessful. Dr. Chae is very experienced, and with the Kaiser classes and support, i feel that this time I will succeed. (I never even knew not to drink pop....)
I owed it to myself to research the Duodenal Switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you. Check out: DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information.

Topic: RE: Surgeon to Re-do Surgery
I've getting my revision done by Dr. Chae. He seems wonderful.
