hi I am new to this site..... i am from Alabama. I am going to have my surgery at Huntsville Hospital with Dr. Mailapur. He was the second surgeon I choose (the first i won't comment on) but he has put me at ease and I will have my surgery in February. I am glad to see someone on here from Alabama.
I wish you well on your 6 month diet. it will be up before you know it!
