"January 18, 2001
Had my first consultation tonight. Dr. Appel was WONDERFUL!!!!! He seems to be very knowledgable and he explained everything. I must give Kathy Kemp a high five because she is sooooo patient. She is very organized and extreamly helpful. My sorority sister had the surgery a few years ago and is doing just fine. As a matter of fact she recently gave birth to twin boys. That was my biggest concern with the surgery. I asked Dr. Appel if I would be able to have a healthy pregnancy after this procedure and he said that if I waited at least 18 months, everything would be just fine. I am so excited and I'm praying for approval."
