I've got a date, having surgery in Eau Claire/ T. Pitchford, any comments?

Hi, I live near Ladysmith WI and I have been working on getting the WLS for some time now. I finally got a date, Oct. 26, 2004 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire. I would like to hear from others who had surgery be Dr. Pitchford... any complications, concerns? Thanks for your time.

Congratulations!! Good luck to you!

Thanks so much to you and all those who have responded to my post. I wish everyone good luck and continued success.
