Welcome to the list....best group of people in the

whole world....it will feel like home. And now we have

another nurse in the group as well as someone waiting

for wls. All my research says DR Rutledge is the MAN

to have do your surgery if at all possible. Just know

that everyone welcomes you with open arms.
