Shanu Kothari, M.D. Initial impression was he was very professional and knowledgeable. He has performed over 550 WLS and everyone I have talked to that has had the surgery, has had it done by him. He is at Gundersen Lutheran in La Crosse, WI and performa primarily Laparoscopic GB but will do open if it is warranted.
I would recommend him to anyone in the area that is considering having it done. He is very in tune to the aftercare and support groups that Gundersen offers and has a fabulous dietary staff as well as surgery team that are all about the patient.
Katy,
Congrats on your new
beginning tomorrow.
I will pray for you
a smooth and quick
recovery. I'm sure
you'll be just fine.
Remember to take it
one day at a time.
Save me a seat on
the losers bench,
I'll be there a day
later.
OKAY....HAD AN EFFIN BLAST! I couldn't get my pictures from the ball to upload for some reason, so here are some I had to cut and paste here.
Had a ball at the ball to say the least. I think this is one of the best things the surgeons, nutritionists, PA-Cs could do to acknowledge not only themselves for what they do, but for the post ops whose lives the seemingly save.
You can bet your sweet ass Katy will be going back next year new and improved from this year even!

Me playing the COWBELL! Gotta have more COWBELL!
