[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie. I live in Upper Darby, PA and would love to be able to join a

local support group. My consult with Dr. Gagner is Wednesday.

to NYC for DS surgery? I'd love to have someone local to talk to

after surgery. All of the bariatric docs in this area do RNY

exclusively.

I think that is a great idea! I am scheduled for

surgery August 1 and I would love to have these

meetings to look forward to!
