Who was your surgean? Compiling a list

I am compiling a list of surgeans in the NY/NJ/CT/PA area to send them information on the upcoming national seminar. Could you please give me the name of your surgean and the phone number and/or address? If you see your doctor already on the list, no need to add it. Also--if you have the name of the person who runs the support group-- that would help as well. Thanks-- and hope to see everyone at the convention! Karen

Hello Karen, My Surgeon was Dr. Denise Barajas at St Raphaels Hospital in New Haven, CT There are a number of surgeons that are part of her group. The chief surgeon is Dr. Reinhold. They are wonderful and the support is fantastic. I have made a lot of friends and the staff is always kind and compasionate when I call. Dr. Barajas is very nice and a great surgeon. I was told her techniques in surgery are flawless. I had the laporscopic Gastric Bypass, it took 2.5 hours and I was home in 2 days. It was alot better than I ever imagined. Hope this will help you. Any questions don't hesitate to email me. What convention are you talking about? Could you send me the information please I would appreciate it. Thanks and Good Luck KimC Milford CT 324/258.5
