Surgery Date: 1/27/2004

Just had my surgery. I am doing very well. I lost 8lbs and hoping for more. I had lap-band in St. John Hospital in Detroit. I have Blue Cross PPO insurance that I got and ok on first try. My doctor is Dr. Hawalsi (586-774-8811) in St. Clair Shores. I am his 3rd patient. I was in the hospital 1 day. I drank clear liquids for 3 days and now on full liquids for 3 weeks, although i already had mashed potatoes. I must go now but will update soon. Stats: Female 54 5'2 229starting wt. 221lbs now.

Glad to hear you are home and doing well. Keep up the good work, but do not rush your diet, do what the doc. tells you. Water is your best friend!!!
