HI Joyce: First hope you are feeling well after your surgery. Now here is my info; 1-My surgeon was Dr. Juarez 2 Surgery was Gastric Bypass 3- I love my surgeon. He was always upfront about the risk. Answered ALL my questions. Went to 3 seminars before making a decision. I was fully confident and trusted I could put my life in his hands. Both pre-op and post seminars are available and encouraged. We are given a number we can call anytime to a nutrionalist at the Baratric Center. Post op we see him not a assistant. Still patiently answers all questions. 4- I'm glad I had WLS for my self-esteen. Get back into doing things I love to do. 5-My reward-Living a Longer and Fuller Life- Oh did I forget to say-Buy a lot of new clothes. My name is Pam

I love fun.... 1. Dr John DeBarros 2. Lap-Band 3. I love my surgeon because... His knowledge of the band and his extensive program gave me the hope I needed He educated me and had me "practice" eating, drinking & living with my band before I would be scheduled for surgery HIS commitment to my pre & post op care and his wonderful bedside manner! 4. I am glad I had WLS because... I no longer inject insulin 3 times per day and currently take ZERO meds (I am healthy) I can play with my kids instead of watch them play Because dang it I FEEL GOOD and LOOK GOOD! NO shame in that! 5. My reward for getting to my goal I hope the reward is that I am around a while longer to enjoy my husband & kids and get to be a grandma! My name is Jen! and I am a loser!
