Hi Heather, I had my surgery on September 8th with Dr. *****ett. I was lucky that day to have his brother Dr.*****ett as my anesthesiologist. My surgery went well and I am 17 days post-op and 30lbs. lighter. Good luck and I'll be praying for you. April

hi there. WOW - I am always loving the chance to talk to people who had my surgeon. I have my pre-op appt. tomorrow. I'm so excited I can hardly believe this is happenning. How many days were you in the hospital. Was it in the morning? That is amazing you have lost that much in such a short time. YOU GO GIRL! Can you tell a difference in your clothing size. What was your pre-op weight. I'd love to hear more from you about your experience..Did you like the staff at baptist? How late could you have visitors?

MAY EVERYTHING GO WELL DURING YOUR PRE-OP TOMORROW MS HEATHER. I STARTED OUT THE SAME WEIGHT AS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE. HOW TALL ARE YOU & WHAT IS YOUR GOAL WEIGHT? I'M 5' 2.5 & I DREAM OF 118 BUT WILL BE EXTREMELY HAPPY BETWEEN 125 & 140 (DR BYRNE'S GOAL WEIGHT FOR ME). GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

i am 5 5" and my goal is 135-145 thanks for the well wishing for my appt. my brain is on overload!
