fatnomore65 10 Posted April 13, 2016 Yes Catarina was my surgical coordinator. She was great as was everyone in the office. Marty the nutritionalist is also great. All I can say is I understand the nerves I postponed my surgery once because I was chicken. Looking back wish I would have done it years ago. Since my surgery 4 friend have had 2 with dr Ewing we are all doing great. Best advise is follow the dr orders they work. Good luck and let me know how it goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
