Simplymechanged2011 Hello,I just wanted to let you know that Dr.Vemulapalli is wonderful,she answered all of my questions and left me looking for more questions to ask,she is good,I am still wondering with the gastric bypass and the lapband the way is was explained to us which one allows you to loose the weight and keep it off longer,I dont wont to regain none of my weight back,I really think I am gonna stay with the lapband tho...Did you hear that the FDA has lowered the BMI for the lapband surgery?I think that is good in some ways and in other it makes it easer for people to qualify for the surgery.....let me know what you think.

Dr. Vermulapalli was my surgeon and she is so awesome and very nice, she will definitley make you feel comfortable and you can ask as many questions as you want!

I have a siminar at montefoire hospital tomarrow 12/2/10 and I was suggested to have her(Dr.V)to do my

surgery.the young lady that suggester her for the surgery told me that she is wonderful and when you go for any type of surgery you need to be able to ask questions,I have done my research and Dr.Vermulapalli is one of the best doctors in the Bronx.I am so thankful that I found her,I will post on friday about the siminar and how everything went....I am so excited ...this is my 2nd siminar ..I still havn't heard back from the nurse that took my information the first time...so Im up for my 2nd...I just hope that everything works out I am so ready.....

I am attending my 2nd siminar on Dec 2nd and I have a good feeling about the doctor that is attending the siminar

to answer questions from paitents that are going for the surgery,I checked out the info that my family doctor told me to look for,,,one of my friends went last year and had Gastric Bypass done,she has lost 85lbs and I am so proud of her,My question is to those who has had the surgery done already,how long is the recovery time and how soon before the surgery did you start buying the liquid diet products like the Protein Shakes and jello's,and also what types of vitiamins and calicum are you required to take?I have checked with GNC and the cashier says that they have a great line of products for people that has had the lapband surgery done...whare is the best place to buy the products?...I have already started buying my measuring cups and shakers for the Protein Drinks, you can but these at the .99cent stores...as you can see I have a long way to go and the rest of my life to get there.....I'm starting out at 262lbs at 66' tall....
