Hi I went thorugh Dr Watkins for my surgery in November of 2008 and have been happy with my weight loss the two weeks before were an exciting time and I am so happy I decided to do it. His office and team are great and they really listen to everything you have to say and want to help you no matter what. I am able to play tennis again after playing in high school and college and other levels and the best part is I dont get winded after 20 minutes good luck on your journey
