RE: Dr Ren on MSNBC

[Guest guest]

Just saw the surgery and program on MSNBC performed by

Dr. Ren. What a moving program. Although it is

somewhat frightening to go through that all again, I

am READY. I think Dr. A only does open and the one on

tv was laproscopic....

Even at my age, it is worth all the risk and pain

to move normally again.

I cried with that man..... and I believe shows like

this will have an impact on the general *unfat*

public.

Lovingly,

Caroline
