Hi everyone. This is the first time I'm posting so excuse my lack of knowledge on all the abbreviations. I am just starting out. I'm going to a seminar on Wednesday held by Fairfield Bariatrics. I...
I am from Stamford and going to attend the seminar given by Fairfield Bariatrics on Wednesday. I've been told to go to Dr. Floch by so many people! Right now I'm just hoping and praying to get the...
