I went to my consult on 10/7/02 and it was very thorough, w/dr Jawad, he was a very patient man, with a good spirit. I learned that I was bigger than I assumed, so it upset me a little. My husband was there, being my biggest supporter and after my consult I felt so much better because I knew at that moment, that I was in good hands. I am waiting now on the results of my evaluation, and my insurance approval. I will update as soon as I get a surgery date.
