  1. Congratulations I can't wait till I'm out of the 300's you must feel so good.
  2. Isopure zero carb its a powder, either no flavor or vanilla 1 scoop mixed in anything as long as its 8 oz your good low cal high protein and cheap no chemicals, you can do it before you know it two weeks will be over, the diet is to reduce the fat in the liver for surgery and to help with healing after surgery. Good luck on your journey.

  10. Hi yes Dr. Geiss. Thank you, boy do I have questions for you how much weight did you lose do you go to the meetings etc. Age tell me everything please
  11. I feel good thank you. I'm back to work no pain because I had laproscopic surgery my doctor did the plication for free because he is doing investigational study so that insurances will cover if it shows effectiveness so far it shows that the weight loss is increased. I did the plication for those reasons but also because they were going in anyway it only adds 15 minutes to surgery. Well if you want information I had mine done at North Shore Long Island Jewish Hospital at Syossett its program is bigger and more advanced then the one at NYU Hospital and NY Hospital. The care is specialized and they have all these resources that are free. I will try to post regularly on my progress as well as answer and ask questions. Thank you for the well wishes I wish you the same
  12. I'm thirty years old. Its been one week since I've been banded and plicated it has been tough. I am looking forward to next week when I go to my first post op appointment. I am excited, scared, and nervous hoping that I did the right thing and the weight will come off considering my BMI was 59. I was 5'6 370 lbs on the day of surgery I was 356. Hope o come down more.
