"I felt that I was lucky getting the referral to Pacific Baratrics. The staff was very helpful and Dr. Tanaka did answer all my questions. Any time I had a question it was answered to my satisfaction. The post operative support groups are great, I have already attended one in my quest to seek surgery.
They emphasize that we must follow their diets of do's and don't's to be successful in achieving weight loss and keeping it off.
I feel totally comfortable with what I am about to do and I am a bit nervous.
I will write more after surgery. January 30th,2001."
