Dalton - Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. May God hold you and your surgery team in his precious hands. I am also a patient of Dr. Brader's and couldn't agree with you more about his professionalism! I absolutely love him and the entire staff. I've been working with Dr. Brader since February, but had the insurance company from hell. Planned to go to Mexico when I was denied three times, but now am switching to BCBS as of 12/1 and hope to have a quick approval. Good luck to you and I hope you will consider joining our TABS (Triangle Area Bariatric Support) group after surgery. Email me if you are interested. Debbie in Raleigh.
