  6. I would not tell her,I would let it be a surprise when she see you again you might be 40lbs lighter, now that will make you happy when everyone tells you how GOOD you look .GOOD LUCK YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
  7. I do not know what it coast in Il but in MN each of my DR appointment ran about 275.00 I had to see phycologist,cadiologist nutritionist 3 times,and a wt management DR for 6 visits before you can have the surgery in MN. But I am happy with the treatment I recieved I felt that they were really concerned about my well being,That did not include all the diagnostic testing I had done in all I think surgery and all other services ran about 14,000. I got to know all of my Drs and i establised a relationship with them I think I got the best care at University of MN Hospital.

  12. I have a large hard ball around my port site, I noticed this yesterday today It seems to have gotten larger,I have intermediate sharp pains at site also.one side of my belly is larger than the other. Has anyone had this problem?
