Well it's about time Toni! Holy Cow 14 pounds already!!! That is totally crazy I've heard about that dreaded drain and am thrilled to learn that they don't do that with the band - Glad to hear that you're feeling better - getting to the mushie food will be like heaven! I'm looking forward to that so much - I can't wait to taste a scrambled egg again! 4 days of liquid makes me really, really appreciate food that's for sure! Thanks for the update Toni - now don't wait so long to give another one! Best Regards, Tammy Count Down: 3 days!

keep goin toni,congrads,,ya,i hear about the drain,,melinda is going thru that right now,take care,,cyndee

Hi Tammy I am happy to hear your feeling well. That drain thing is one of the reasons why I wouldn't even think about going to Dr Barba because I was afraid of that as I had heard it hurt like HE**... Dr Aranow doesn't use them and believe me that was the 1ST QUESTION I ASKED at my meeting with him lol Take care hon. Congrats on the 9 lbs..

Hey Toni, Congrats on your success so far. Your doing great sweetie. Keep up the good work. Glad to hear your doing okay. Hope your journey is a very successful one. Take care Hugs KimC
