Joy, just a friendly note to say hello and wish you well on your new journey in life. I have a friend that has had the RNY Lap surgery done by the same Dr. and she has done wonderful. Klamath Falls is my home town, My husbands work takes us all over so I'm going to have my surgery in Fresno Ca. 8/29/2001 as we will be here for the next 5 months. Good Luck!
