My wife had hers done in july of last year by Dr Jawad... She has lost 90 pounds. I hope to have him do mine also.. I am wainting to get the notes from my last visit to my pcp. Then niecia can send it to Cigna. Dr Jawad is the best bar none....
Kimie, we've been emailing back and forth a little, so you know my surgery is next week with Dr. Jawad. Welcome to the board!! You'll find lots of support here. I hope to see you at one of the support groups that are around.

I am a recent patient. My surgery was 5/18/04. I am down about 60 pounds or so. YAY!!! Everything went well, I had no problems or complications what so ever. Actually on the 10th, Im going back into surgery for galbladder removal.

Hi Kimie,
I had my surgery in Jan of this year. I have lost 80 pounds so far, problem free! (knock on wood)
I was only in the OR for 45 min. That's why I think I avoided a lot of problems. You'll do great! Take care.
