Question:
Anyone interested in sharing this experince with me?

I am looking to have this surgery done very soon but I woould like someone to go with me, I am very afraid and this is something that only a person who post op or pre op would understand. I live in Nevada and have not yet decided where I will go to have it done...Any info on good Docs would be helpful. E-mail [email protected] Also has anyone had this Surgery and smoked? This is a awful addiction.    — Tammy B. (posted on February 16, 2000)

Tammy - I have met in chat room several from Nevada who had surgery with RMAP (Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians). They are in Salt Lake City, Utah. The reason being, they have much more experience than the Nevada doctors available. I am going to use Dr. Smith with RMAP. I also know people that came here from FL, WY, & SD. Their # is: 800-999-9970. I would be happy to "share" your experience if you choose to use these doctors -- I live about 45 min. so. of these surgeons. Good luck. Oh, and on the smoking thing... they will probably make you quit 1 mo - 1 week prior to surgery at least. Smoking increases your risks from this surgery. Perhaps your primary care physician can help you with a patch or gum? Love, Shar/UT E-Mail: [email protected].
