Hi, my name is Patti and I live in Reno, Nevada. I am scheduled for surgery on April 23rd.

I work for the State of Nevada as an IT TECH IV (computer operator). I have two kids, son Steven lives in San Antonio, and daughter Tara lives in Grapevine, TX. I also have 4 grandsons.

My surgeon is Dr. Sasse with Western Bariatrics.

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery date! Hey, I'm jealous. I wish I lived in Nevada! :tt1:

Hi Patti,

Dr. Sasse was my surgeon as well and I couldn't be happier. I work for the state as well and live in reno. i had my surgery 3/5/08 and it was the best choice for me. Congrats and ask all the questions you want, this is a great forum.
