I'll be there and bringing my mother too! I sent you an email, but have not heard back yet.

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
I would like to hear from members who have had lapband surgery with one of these doctors so I can get a little more "hands on" experiences to help me chose who to have surgery with. I've read through the reviews online, but I particularly want to talk to people about their experiences.
Thank you in advance!

P.S. Don't worry, you won't be making up my mind for me, I just need more info!
Today is my 1 week surgiversary! I am home....and feeling better every day!
I have to admit that this is the most painful thing I have ever endured, but well worth every bit of it. While you are in the hospital, no matter how much it hurts, you have to walk, walk, walk!!!! My first night out of surgery was the worst, I got a little cranky with the nurses every time I had to walk....lol of course I appologized later. I actually ended up with 5 small incisions, and then the drain. I still have my drain in but will have it removed tomorrow at my follow up appointment. The pain gets better every day.
THE STATS:
Highest Weight = 298 lbs.
Weight after 6 month medically supervised weight loss program = 294
Day of Surgery after 2 day liquid diet = 288 lbs.
1 Week Post-Op = 271 lbs.
The weight is just falling off every day....THIS WAS SOOOO WORTH IT!
Anyone with questions, feel free to ask.....I am eager to share my experience with anyone that will listen.
Feel free to ask any questions and best of luck to you on your journey!
