I just had my LBL done with Dr. Fodera, he has been great!! His office staff is wonderful too, Dee is the best!

I was luck enough to have some of mine covered by my medical ins, maybe that could be an option for you too.. his office was very helpful in helping to obtain the ins approval too.

Good luck!

I sent you a message, but the site was acting a bit funny so I'm not sure it went through. My surgery went well and overall I'm doing pretty good, I think. The last two weeks have been a bit of a challenge, as I've had almost constant nausea. I saw my pcp last week and she gave me new medication to try and I'm supposed to go back next week for a follow up. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the next IGT!

He specializes in post-WLS reconstruction and is reasonably priced...

Tom this is a beautiful post. Your story really does inspire others and you should keep telling it.

The word "congratulations" is just inadequate. You deserve more praise than that.

And I can't thank you enough for organizing the NJIGTs. I have made so many great friends and heard so many wonderful stories, and my life is richer for it.

I don't feel as comfortable or as "at home" anywhere as I do during those gatherings. It just seems like we all "get it" and that's a really nice feeling to have once in a while.

Thank you for your energy, your enthusiasm and your generosity...

Linda
