Hello everyone, I am having the banded gastric plication surgery performed by Dr. Watkins in Cincinnati on Wednsday . I am very nervous about having the surgery, especially after reading the letter that smkeller posted. The patient that doctor Watkins is reffering to is having posted videos in UTUBE, and she is doing very well now. I am very excited to get the surgery but, very nervous while I am out of town and I will go by myself to the surgery center, due to my husband having to stay back home with our kids. I never met Dr. Watkins but, talking to him and his staff at the phone... I cannot tell you, how impressed I am with how helpful everyone is and how detailed they are. Please, wish me luck with my procedure and to everything go smoothly.
