To all of you who have your date. My prayers re with you. I am so happy for

you.

I am having a very hard time getting my patient contacts, so for those of you

who has had the surgery please please please help me out so that I may get my

10 contact.

1. I have never had any Psy. Counseling does this means I have to have

counseling before Surgery? This is a question my doctor ask, she does not

see the need.

2. Also it ask about Sleep Apnea I have not had that problem but I have

had Gastroesophageal Reflux while sleeping and thought I was going to die

Choking, I couldn't even go back to sleep after that out of fear of

aspirating. My Doctor wants to know if this is required because she doesn't

feel as if the studies are required.

3. When you get you doctor support letter and family support letter do

you just mail it all back to Dr. R office.

4. Has anyone had Anemia and still had the surgery done?

5. Anyone had the surgery and then went back the tummy staple and or

breast reduction if so did your Ins. pay for it.

6. I have large thighs that hangs, What did Dr. R suggest for that.?

7. I have one contact this far from Sharon of land she lives less than

20 min. away from me she is very helpful. But I misplace her phone number. S

haron J if you are out there please email me at mjclark521@... I need to

talk to you again.

8. Did anyone drive write back home living more then 350 miles from the

Hosp. I no Sharon husband did
