Sandy, let me know, and I will be there!!! Mom will probably go to. I guess making an appointment with Dr. Marsden would be a pretty good idea too. He did...
I remember Marsden saying something about diet pills, but you have a tendency to think after this surgery you ought to be "wonder woman". So I, too, am going...
Thanks for your input! I haven't seen Dr Marsden since my post-op amd it's my fault for not having gone back. I intend to make an appointment tomorrow and...
