Tina, I wanted to let you know that I'll be thinking of you Tuesday. I had my LAP WLS Thursday and I am doing very well. I too have a problem with rolling veins. They had to use a butterfly twice and the second time they drew extra blood just in case the doc wanted some more testing. I will try to check on you. I'll be back at work next week so my mind may not be working very well. God bless you and yours next week. By the way, a friend of my cousin's used Dr. Stalh in November and she is doing great. Down 100 pounds.
