I think it was one of the Drs. he use to partner with the practice split in late 2014. I believe it was Dr Moazzez. She spoke very highly of him.

I got a 3 week pre op diet and will I'm 6 weeks out from surgery, I've started it now to help me get on track!! I'm so happy to have found this site!!!

[Pinkpeonies1 87]

Congratulations KrissieAnn.

[KrissieAnn 2]

Thank you! Is it just me or does this feel surreal?? I'm in Canada so it works a little different out here, I've been doing the program for 7 months now! Most people take a year plus, there is one lady who is on year 6 of program! So I'm happy they passed me off to the dr ☺️

Hopefully everything goes great for you all

Thank you Keejay, to you as well.

KrissieAnn you did good then. It's definitely surreal. Mine will be exactly eight month from my initial consultation. After all the requirements were meet and sent for approval, I was approved for surgery in 5 days instead of the 30 day turnaround I was told was the standard. So I was in disbelief at first.
