I haven't gone but keep saying I want to go. Just lazy I guess. I go tomorrow for my first fill and boy do I need it. My old habits are creeping back. I had my surgery 1/16/07. Lo

I forgot to say I went to St. Claires in Dover and was treated great. The nurses couldn't do enough for you. Lo

Hi all, Just to let everyone know I used Dr. Abkin. Love him and his office. As far as the psch and nutritionist. Funny everyone has their own opinion. I did not need a psych and just went through the motions. I thought he was a pleasant caring man. However, the nutrionist that someone raved about I will never go back. She acted like she was better than everyone and my husband was with me and felt the same way. And to boot the insurance paid for the nutriionist but not the psych. Guess what - the nice md sent me my money back because he said the insurance was a pain in the neck. So that's my take. now I do know there are a couple of different nutrionists. Good luck. I am waiting for my first fill and very anxious because I feel like I did before my surgery. I lost so far 24 pounds but that was what I lost in the beginning when I first had surgery. I had surgery 1/16/07 and because of Insurance I had to wait 90 days. Good grief and I ready to let this band help me. This site is very helpful and keeps me plugging. I thank all. Lo

hi tigger Just wanted to say hi to all. I had my surgery at St. Claires in Dover. It went great and the people were wonderful. I had the surgery 1/16/07. I am getting my first fill April 19th and I am so looking forward to this. I was doing great in the beginning lost about 24 pounds. Because of my insurance I had to wait 3 months for the fill. To me that is so horrible. Mentally I was so prepared for this journey and the last month I have to struggle not to gain weight. After all if I could do this on my own I would not be in the bind I am in now. Anyway not losing any more weight but still exercising I am a little discouraged. I too had Dr. Abkin and thought he was wonderful. I work in Sussex County but live in Warren County. Just wanted to say hi to all and really looking forward to my first fill. At this point I can eat what as much as I did before the surgery. That is not good. Also what do they mean when they say slipped band. anyone? Thanks lo
