Hi Shirley, I have a May 13th surgery date. I just read your profile and notes, and I am so excited for you. My surgeon is in the same office as Dr Otteman, he is Dr Dickinson. I agree: that office is so supportive and warm. Dr. Otteman is wonderful, my best friend had her surgery 2 years ago and she insisted that I go to his practice when I made the decision to seek help for my opbesity. I also have arthritis, this past year I have suffered awful. I'm faced with hip replacemtn if I dont get my weight off. I live in Ft Collins, I have a date for surgery, and am waiting for insurance approval. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Congrats.. Kim

To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits,that is the courage to succeed. Bernard Edmonds

Shirley - thanks so much for your support. I am doing so much better now and am happy to be on the losing side for once. I wish you success on your trip, age should have nothing to do with this surgery because it can only extend your life and make it worth living. LaWanna
