anyone from Vermont

Hi everyone, I'm meeting with Dr. Spaulding on January 3rd to see if she'll do my operation. I can only have the one where they remove the remaining part of my stomach because I have bleeding ulcers and she will not do the regular operation because they could not scope me if I started bleeding again. I had an appointment with her last week and pleaded my case which is when she mentioned the operation to remove my stomach. Please keep your fingers crossed because I really want to have it done. I need to lose this weight and begin living again. Does anyone have any comments about Dr. Spaulding? She seemed to be very caring and her staff seem to be right on top of things? How is she as a surgeon? Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. Herb
