Q You have a private practice at this time?<br />
10:44:15 13<br />
A I could summarize this in maybe three ways. I<br />
10:44:19 14 had a private practice before joining the Omidis. I<br />
10:44:23 15 stopped the private practice because of the good offer<br />
10:44:30 16 they -- they gave me, but it was not true.<br />
10:44:33 17<br />
I used to make $180,000 before I joined them.<br />
10:44:38 18 They promised half a million dollars if I joined them.<br />
10:44:44 19 When I got in the first year with them, $59,000.<br />
10:44:47 20<br />
And right now I went back to private practice,<br />
10:44:49 21 I am barely making a living.<br />
10:44:52 22<br />
Q When did you first become aware of the<br />
10:44:56 23 1-800-Get-Thin or the Omidi brothers that were doing lap<br />
10:45:01 24 band surgeries?<br />
