Hi Maryland!

HI!
I am scheduled for GB in June. I stumbled on this forum and wanted to say hello!
I was hoping to find others in MD who have had or are having WLS.
Has it been successful for you? 
Hope to hear your stories - I need a little inspiration - getting a little nervous about what to expect.
Thanks,
Lin

 Hi, I had DBP surgery at GBMC in Aug 09 and DR. Lioa is the man. He is straight forward and tells it like it is. Listen to him he knows what he is talking about.

As far as successful,Id say yes. Ive lost 279 lbs from my worst weight of 569 lbs. I have gained a few Lbs back but thats cause I was eating everything he said stay away from.

Being nervous is something we all went through. Just stay the course and follow through with it. You WILL love the end result.. Im not saying its gonna be a breeze or the surgery is a magic bullet because its not. You will get out of it what you put in. 

The first thing I noticed after my surgery is I didnt feel hungry.Which to me in itself was a miracle because I have  food addiction.

Message me or email me if you need some advise. Ill answer you if I know or point you in the right direction If I dont.

Good luck
We will clear a space for you on the losers bench and put a reserved sign on it for you.
