Linda Cruz
"Dr. Cruz is definitely an angel sent from heaven. It is not unusual for her to spend 20-30 minutes talking to you. She thoroughly explains everything and if you does not know something she takes the time to find the information."

Clifford Deveney
"Well I had my first appointment today. I was very impressed. He spent over an hour going over my history and the surgery. I have a BMI of 65 but the only co-mortality is piriformis syndrome in my hips. This is a rare problem that cause extreme sciatic pain. He informed me that it might be a battle but that after I see a pulminary doctor I should have no problems. Lots of problems breathing. He gauranteed he will fight al the way with me!! We will see. Feb 20 2001 Well I had to change to Dr. Deveney because Dr. Welker is taking a sabbatical. It took forever to get the surgeon changed and my paper work was finally submitted on Feb 15, 2001. I have not met Dr. Deveny yet. I am kinda waiting to see what insurance says. I am getting tired of the roller coast ride and I am about ready to get off. I know it is just beginning though. I feel my chances are good. A BMI of 66 is very high and I hope it happens very soon. I have become a prisoner in my own home and has spring quickly approaches I am getting very restless."
