Thank you!!! You look great too!!

Hey LapBand Buddy. Wanted to check in to see how you are doing. I hope all is well with you.

Hi!! How are you? Dr. T's my surgeon as well. I hope everything is going well for you.

I took the week off so that I could rest. I'm glad to hear everything went well for you too. I was up and about soon after surgery too with no pain meds. I agree, it was much easier than I anticipated as well, especially after reading threads. Again, I'm glad you are doing well. Keep in touch.

I'm doing a lot of walking, and I mean a lot. I'm also taking Milk of Mag. This helps, but mostly walking. The gas is not really that bad, but I continue to move around because I don't want it to creep up on me. Be sure to let me know how you are whenever you feel like it after surgery. I will be praying for you.

Hey Lapband Buddy!!! Just checking on you. My surgery went very well. I was released yesterday as well. I hope all went well for you too. Let me know how you're doing.

Thanks so much. Everything went well. I just have a lot of gas. Other than that, everythings great. The 10th will be here before you know it. Good luck!!!!

Hello,

By reading you profile, we have a lot in common. I'm a Mental Health Therapist as well as a single parent of a three year old, hyper active, energetic, etc. (can go on for years..... little boy. Nice to meet you!!!

Hi Ginger334. How are you? I saw your post on the Birmingham Banding forum. I was thinking about using Dr. Dewitt, but am waiting to see who my GP referrs me to. Let me know how it goes at the seminar.

Hi swstacey1977,

Thank you so much for the information. I will call tomorrow to schedule an appointment. Again, I really appreciate it.

That's great!!! I went on yesterday to start my supervised diet, but of course, my doctor was overbooked, so I rescheduled for Friday. I got kind of frustrated, but regrouped and rescheduled....lol. At any way, I tend to be impatient, but have no choice but to wait 6+ months. I hope they go by fast!!

Hi Karook54. I am in Alabama as well and have BCBSAL. I wanted to know who were you banded by? I was thinking about Dr. Dewitt (Birmingham) or Cahaba Valley Surgical Group (Alabaster). I'm in Montgomery.

Hi Michelle! I am new to the site, but am just beginning the 6 month physician supervised diet process. I am thinking about using the same doctor as you. How was your experience with him and your overall experience with the lap band?
