  1. Hi Cher, It take aleast 3 weeks before you can lift. Usually the first 2 weeks you can lift no more than 20lbs. Talk to you Doctor.
  2. Hi Everyone, Had my surgery on 1/22/07 and I'm feeling really good about myself. What I like is to be able to talk to people who are thinking about having it done and letting them know about my experience so far.
  3. Hi John, I will say a prayer for her to help GOD ease her pain
  4. Hi everyone I'm looking for a doctor for my Operation Manager's friend. Her friend is thinking of having this done and I want to be able to give her a couple of doctors. I had the band done 1/22/07. so far before and after surgery I lost 30lbs and I'm starting to feel good about myself. I have around another 70lbs to go but I try not to look at that. What's nice is that I'm able to talk about my experience to other people who are thinking about having it done and also what a blessing it is once you've had it done.
  5. Hi everyone, I just want to say I'm doing really good. Weighed myself today and all together I lost 30 lbs. I'm starting to feel good about myself. If have a question. Anyone that had the Lap Band surgery in Boston can you let me know what your doctor's name is? My Operation Manager's, close friend is starting the process and her Primary care doctor is at Mount Auburn. I told her about this Web Site and how great it is. Please let me know. Thanks Chris
