What about Salmon patties? Joyce

Hello RDUCK73! I just had surgery on the 28th of April with Dr.Spiegel.I really like him and his workers. I am glad I had the surgery and its not bad at all. When you get there you'll fill out paper work and you will see Mellissa.Then she will weight you and ask some questions on the papers yoiu filled out.Then Dr.Spiegel will come in and look a your stomach.Then you will go to his office and he will show you and tell you about the lap band surgery.If you can thank of any question write them down and asked him that day.He will answer them.Good Luck and keep us posted.
