That is awesome news I'll keep you in my prayers for a speedy process through all of this so you can be a loser Take care, Anita

Ty! Anita....appreciated........

Good for you! Dr. Vitello is my surgeon to! I had surgery on 8/11/04 and have lost 190#s so far. My husband had surgery with him on 2/7/05 and has lost 155# so far. He is an Great surgeon. Don't be put off by his standoffish personality. He is a very reserved doctor at first. My husband and I have a follow up appt. on 11/18/05. Good luck Leslie 373/185/150?
