Bowie, Md here....Kaiser patient...surgery 2/3!!!!! Been waiting since 12/7/2012!!!! Jumped through all my hoops by 6/7/2013...met with surgeon 7/2013 and FINALLY got "the call" this past Monday! Using Dr.Cantor at Holy Cross in Silver Spring. ( I'm a forum virgin....first post ever in a forum, and first time sharing this experience with anyone...other than my husband....have the most negative, unsupportive family on the planet! Can't wait to melt away into the skinny me I know is hiding in here somewhere....lol!)
