Only 3 people know....my Mama, my roomie (she's banded) and 1 close girlfriend. I will tell my dad and bonus mom once I get my surgery date. If anyone else should find out, then I know who told!!

*side eye* Uhhhh....no!!! I gave up smoking, that should be plenty!!! My nutritionist just told me that alcohol will effect me differently....oh and I should try 'drinking' at home first to test the waters!!! LOL! I guess folks go out and go CA-WAZY (ya have to say it like its spelled) and drink like they did pre-band.

I have a tendency to find information...maybe that's why I'm in Information Management. Try checking out this Doc, I was in the UK forum and his name has come up numerous times. Check out this link for his info. http://www.medicalto...-christiaan.php As far as credentials, I know in the states there are "Center's of Excellence" that the best surgeons are a part of. Hope it get's you in the right direction... P.
