  1. Deidre, 3 a week is absolutely reasonable. I lost 3 a week for my entire first year, which just passed a couple weeks ago. That was with minimal excercise, so you should easily make it. Good luck!
  2. Dr. Guske did my surgery on April 27th 2010. I have lost 149 pounds in my first year, and have had zero complications. He has been absolutely phenominal, as his whole group is. I actually had started my initial consultation with a different surgeon, but he could not do it. I had a good friend who used him as well, so I was able to have Dr. Guske do the surgery. I thank god everyday for him. He is a great person and genuine. He cares about what he does. I asked him what it feels like to change peoples lives, and the smile on his face told me how he truly enjoys what he does and that it gives him a great feeling. I could not reccmmend him any higher
  3. I think it would be fantastic to find someone who had such a major thing to start a relationship with. It would open up so many things, and eliminate so many potential issues as well.
  4. I just joined today. i was actually surfing to see if there was a dating site for lap banders lol. April 27th will be my one year anniversary. Had a fill last night. 149 pounds already!
