[FONTIf your doctor is one who likes use a nose tube, consider yourself lucky. I was really dreading that tube.

My mom went to be with the Lord Sunday morning. I received the call at 4:42 A.M. Now I don't know what to do. I was so mentally ready for my surgery, but now I have more important

I am so anxious to get sleeved, and this website is a great informational source. I started out with Dr. Nick in Dallas, but our personalities didn't jive. Maybe it was because I was just beginning this journey and had a lot of questions that Dr. Nick didn't have time nor interest to answer. Plus, I didn't get the support from my advocate there.
