My name is Linetta. I had my first appt. with Dr. Marley on March 11, 2011. The pa gave me a 1800 calorie diet but I haven't done much with it yet. I live in Patton so a support group in Somerset wouldn't work for me. My primary insurance is medicare and my secondary is tricare so I have to do the six visits so I don't know when my surgery will be. I just want to get this started. Let me know how you are doing. Good luck!
